The correct option is: e. all of the above

Explanation:

Hyperaldosteronism is caused by uncontrolled production of aldosterone by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal glands. This can lead to fatigue, headache, hypertension, muscle weakness, muscle spasms, numbness, sodium retention, hypokalemia (low levels of potassium in the blood) and alkalosis (increased hydrogen ion excretion).
