is this kallmann syndrome?

The answer is: A
This patient most typically has Kallmann's syndrome. This is a deficiency in the secretion of LHRH from the hypothalamus. Typically, these patients will respond to LHRH, although they may need LHRH priming. Testosterone will be low from the lack of LHRH stimulation of LH secretion
