Solution
The correct option is D Humulin
Eli Lilly marketed the first such insulin, humulin, in 1982. Humulin was the first medication produced using modern genetic engineering techniques in which the gene responsible for the production of hormone is inserted into a host cell (E. coli). The inserted gene undergoes recombination and expresses itself to produce the recombinant protein. In the case of humulin, the gene from beta cells of the pancreas is isolated.Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
