Solution

The correct option is D Softening of bones
Cushing's syndrome, also known as hypercortisolism, is characterised by unusually high cortisol levels. Some of the symptoms are fatty deposits, especially in the midsection, the face (causing a round, moon-shaped face), and between the shoulders and the upper back (causing a buffalo hump) and pendulous belly.
