Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adrenogenital syndrome is a group of inherited disorders where there is an increased production of androgens (male sex hormones) by the adrenal glands. This leads to the development of male characteristics in females and precocious pseudopuberty in prepubertal boys. Hirsutism (excessive hair growth) is also a common symptom in adult females with this syndrome. Therefore, both option A and C are correct, making option D the best choice. Option B is not a characteristic of adrenogenital syndrome.
