Solution

The correct option is D His sugar level in blood was high
Doctor advised the patient to take an injection of insulin because the sugar level in his blood was high. Insulin acts on muscle, fat and liver cells, and increases the uptake and utilisation of glucose. It also stimulates the conversion of glucose into glycogen in these cells, thereby helping in restoring the normal blood glucose levels.
