The correct Answer is:
To determine the condition of the person described in the question, we will analyze the symptoms provided: bulging or protruding eyes, tachycardia (increased heart rate), and high body temperature. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Symptoms**: - The person has bulging or protruding eyes. - The person experiences tachycardia (increased heart rate). - The person has a high body temperature. 2. **Understand the Possible Conditions**: - The options given are hyperthyroidism, diabetes, acromegaly, and cretinism. - Each of these conditions has distinct symptoms. 3. **Analyze Hyperthyroidism**: - Hyperthyroidism is characterized by an overproduction of thyroid hormones. - Symptoms include increased metabolic rate, weight loss, increased heart rate (tachycardia), and exophthalmos (bulging eyes). - High body temperature is also a common symptom due to increased metabolism. 4. **Evaluate Other Conditions**: - **Diabetes**: Primarily related to insulin deficiency or resistance, does not typically cause bulging eyes or high body temperature. - **Acromegaly**: Caused by excess growth hormone, leading to enlarged features but not typically associated with bulging eyes or high body temperature. - **Cretinism**: A condition of hypothyroidism, usually characterized by stunted growth and developmental issues, not bulging eyes or increased heart rate. 5. **Conclusion**: - Given the symptoms of bulging eyes, tachycardia, and high body temperature, the most likely condition is **hyperthyroidism**. ### Final Answer: The person is most likely suffering from **hyperthyroidism**.
