الإجابة: D. Primary hyperaldosteronism
High aldosterone with low renin is the pattern of primary hyperaldosteronism (Conn's) — aldosterone is autonomous and suppresses renin. Secondary hyperaldosteronism (e.g. renal artery stenosis) has high aldosterone and high renin. Liddle syndrome causes HTN with low renin but low aldosterone.
