Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Addison’s disease is caused by under secretion of ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone). It is produced by the pituitary glands. It stimulates the adrenal glands to produce the hormone cortisol.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most common cause of Addison’s disease is an autoimmune response, which occurs when your immune system attacks healthy tissues for an unknown reason. With Addison’s disease, your immune system attacks the outer portion of your adrenal glands (the adrenal cortex), where they make cortisol and aldosterone.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Addison’s disease’.
