The answer is the second one (or B): Addison disease.

Explanation for each option:

  • Grave's disease: This is an autoimmune disorder that leads to hyperthyroidism, not related to adrenocortical steroids.
  • Addison disease: This is an autoimmune disease that results in decreased production of adrenocortical steroids, specifically cortisol and aldosterone.
  • Hyperpyrexia: This term refers to an extremely high fever and is not related to adrenocortical steroid production.
  • Diabetes insipidus: This condition is characterized by an imbalance of water in the body due to issues with antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and is not related to adrenocortical steroids.

Summary: Addison disease is the autoimmune disease that leads to decreased production of adrenocortical steroids.
