Anxiety? That's an interesting choice, but I don't think it's the most common side effect of this drug.

Nausea? Really? I thought it was more about vision problems. This is a tricky one.

Hyperglycemia, definitely. Corticosteroids can mess with your blood sugar levels.

I'm not sure, but I think E) Hyperglycemia could also be a side effect since steroids can raise blood sugar levels.

I agree with Rebbeca, C) Cataracts makes sense because steroids can increase the risk of cataracts.
