Solution

The correct option is A Extrinsic proteins
Insulin receptors are extrinsic proteins. They are made up of an alpha and a beta subunit that are held together by disulphide bonds. Insulin, which is a polypeptide hormone, binds to the extracellular face of the α-subunits.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Extrinsic proteins.'
