Solution

The correct option is A Insulin
Humulin was the first medication produced using modern genetic engineering techniques in which actual human DNA is inserted into a host cell (E. coli). The host cells are then allowed to grow and reproduce normally and due to the inserted human DNA, they produced a synthetic version of human insulin.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
