Pheochromocytoma and Hypoglycemia are close but I guess being commoner is the issue so it can be hypoglycemia too. Carcinoid seems quite uncommon but may be more common than pheo. So lets wait for the answer.

D) In addition to hypoglycemia, relatively more common organic causes of anxiety include alcohol withdrawal, drug intoxication or withdrawal, thyrotoxicosis and paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardias. Pheochromocytoma is rare. Carcinoid does not cause anxiety. Carcinoma of the bronchus and hyperparathyroidism are more likely to present with depression
