B Correct answer
Explanation

Cushing's disease typically causes sustained hypertension (not episodic) due to cortisol excess, along with central obesity, easy bruisability from skin fragility, and glucose intolerance from cortisol-induced insulin resistance. Episodic hypertension is more characteristic of pheochromocytoma. Episodic hypertension is the exception among these findings.
