Which of these statements about hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism is true?

Answer
A
Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are both imbalances of thyroid hormones.
B
Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism both cause sluggishness.
C
Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are unrelated to metabolism.

Explanation

Both conditions involve an imbalance in thyroid hormone levels, so statement A is true. Hypothyroidism means too little thyroid hormone and often slows body processes, while hyperthyroidism means too much and often speeds them up. That is why they do not both cause sluggishness, and both are related to metabolism.
