Correct answer: A. Biotechnology
- A. Biotechnology
- B. Social biological techniques
- C. Parasitology
- D. Both a and c
Explanation
Insulin production uses biotechnology because genes and biological systems are manipulated to produce a medically useful hormone, historically including insulin related to porcine insulin. Students may choose parasitology because it is another biological field, but parasitology deals with parasites rather than producing therapeutic proteins.
