option D is correct

addison's crisis : it also known as adrenal crisis or adrenal insufficiency is an endocrinologic emergency with a high mortality rate secondary to physiologic derangments from an acute deficiency of adrenal hormone cortisol requiring immediate treatment to avoid death .

so the above definition cortisol inadequate supply of cortisol in a patient's with addison's crisis leads to death.

a) epinephrine: epinephrine levels may effect on addison's disease severe or total deficiency of hormone made by the adrenal glands,including epinephrine, cortisol, aldosterone. so this epinephrine is not related to the above question....so this option is wrong.

b) norepinephrine: low levels of norepinephrine leads to the conditions like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression and hypotension.

c) antidiuretic hormone (ADH) : it is also called as vasopressin ...lack of ADH cause diabetes incipidus.
