Exopthalmos is a characteristic of hyperthyroidism, not hypothyroidism. The other options are all characteristic of hypothyroidism: depressed MR (metabolic rate), depressed body temperature, cretinism (a developmental issue caused by hypothyroidism during infancy), and myxedema (swelling caused by deposits of mucopolysaccharides in the skin and other tissues).
