Solution

The correct option is B Carbohydrate metabolism
When there is improper functioning of the beta cells of the pancreas and there is less production of insulin, the condition is caused known as diabetes mellitus. The hormone is responsible for regulation of the carbohydrate metabolism. This is a condition where the carbohydrate which is glucose is not taken up by the cells and the metabolism of glucose is inhibited. This results in the accumulation or increase in the levels of carbohydrate in the blood.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
