Solution

The correct option is A Humulin
Humulin is the recombinant product which was produced from the bacterial cells by introducing the gene for insulin. The insulin gene from pancreatic cells of human was recombined with a vector and introduced in the E.coli cells. The bacteria produecd insulin which was commercialised with the name Humulin.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
