Answer 1

Hypertension is developed due to several factors EXCEPT Hyposecretion of aldosterone.

Explanation:

Hyposecretion of aldosterone does not cause hypertension. Aldosteron is a steroid hormone that controls blood pressure by regulating salt and water in the body. Hyposecretion results in Addison's disease, which is characterised by low blood sugar, low Na⁺, and high K⁺ levels in plasma. Weight loss, increased Joss Na⁺, and water in urine.
