Solution

The correct option is C C peptide
Mature insulin does not contain C peptide. C peptide is required for forming correct three dimensional structure of active insulin by bringing A and B chains in the appropriate orientation. C peptide is cleaved off from proinsulin to make functional insulin which contains A and B chain held together by disulphide bonds.
