A) insulin
B) throxin
C) growth hormone
D) none of these
Correct Answer: C
Solution :

Hypersecretion (over production) of growth hormones in children causes the bones to grow unusually long this results a condition known as gigantism. But in adults hyper secretion of GH causes the bones of hands and faces to thicken. This results a condition called as acromegaly.
