Solution

The correct option is C

ACTH excess


ACTH (adreno cortico trophic hormone) stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce its hormones. Cortisone is a hormone of adrenal cortex which has a suppressing effect on the immune system. So, excess ACTH will lead to excess production of cortisone which inturn leads to suppression of immune response.
