The answer is the third one (or C): gigantism.

Explanation for each option:

  • Acromegaly: This condition is caused by excess growth hormone in adulthood, leading to the enlargement of bones and tissues, particularly in the hands, feet, and face.
  • Pituitary dwarfism: This condition is caused by a deficiency of growth hormone during childhood, leading to a shorter stature but with normal body proportions.
  • Gigantism: This condition is caused by excess growth hormone during childhood, leading to excessive growth and an abnormally tall stature.
  • Osteoporosis: This condition is characterized by weakened bones and is not directly related to growth hormone levels.

Summary: Excess growth hormone in childhood causes gigantism.

Consider the equation: x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0 A) First, use the "completing the square" process to write this equation in the form (x+D)^2 = E and enter your results below. x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0 is equivalent to: x = -D + sqrt(E) = x = -D - sqrt(E)
