    The correct answer is the last option: mouth > pharynx > esophagus > stomach > duodenum > jejunum > ilium > large intestine > anus. This order represents the correct sequence of organs in the gastrointestinal tract, starting from the mouth where food enters, passing through the pharynx and esophagus to reach the stomach. From the stomach, the food then moves to the duodenum, jejunum, and ilium, which are parts of the small intestine. Finally, the remaining waste enters the large intestine and is eliminated through the anus.

    Explanation
    Cushing syndrome is characterized by the excessive production of cortisol, a hormone that is normally released by the adrenal glands. This hyper secretion of cortisol can be caused by various factors such as prolonged use of corticosteroid medications, tumors in the adrenal glands or pituitary gland, or certain genetic conditions. The excessive levels of cortisol in the body can lead to a variety of symptoms including weight gain, high blood pressure, muscle weakness, and mood changes. Therefore, the correct answer is hyper secretion of cortisol.
