Which one of the following pairs correctly matches a hormone with a disease resulting from its deficiency?

1. Insulin - Diabetes insipidus
2. Relaxin - Gigantism
3. Prolactin - Cretinism

Parathyroid hormone raises blood calcium; if it is deficient, calcium falls and nerves become overexcitable, causing tetany. The other pairs mismatch hormones with diseases caused by different deficiencies.
