Solution

The correct option is B Insulin
The first artificially synthesized hormone is human insulin or humulin. It was prepared by inserting the insulin gene into a suitable vector, the E. coli bacterial cell, to produce insulin that is chemically identical to its naturally produced counterpart. This has been achieved using recombinant DNA technology.
So, the correct answer is (B).
