A. hypotension.
B. thick, coarse skin.
C. deposits of adipose tissue in the trunk and dorsocervical area.

答案
参考答案：C
解析：Because of changes in fat distribution, adipose tissue accumulates in the trunk, face (moon face), and dorsocervical areas (buffalo hump). Hypertension is caused by fluid retention.
