Solution

The correct option is A Decrease in weight
Cushing's syndrome is a disorder associated with the adrenal glands. It is caused due to hypersecretion of adrenal hormone, Cortisol by adrenal glands in the body. Since cortisol regulates carbohydrate metabolism, its overproduction causes a rise in blood sugar level. Blood pressure also increases. Other symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, muscle weakness, fatty hump between the shoulders, increase in blood volume etc.
So, the correct answer is B.
