The correct answer is (b). The first genetically engineered human insulin was launched in 1983.
Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas and helps the body to use glucose for energy. People with diabetes do not produce enough insulin, or their bodies do not use insulin properly. This can lead to high blood sugar levels, which can damage the body over time.
Genetically engineered human insulin is made in a laboratory using bacteria. It is identical to the insulin that is produced by the human body, and it is used to treat diabetes.
The first genetically engineered human insulin was approved for use in the United States in 1983. It was called Humulin, and it was developed by Genentech. Humulin was a major breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes, and it has helped millions of people around the world to manage their condition.
The other options are incorrect. Option (a) is incorrect because the first genetically engineered human insulin was not launched in 1970. Option (c) is incorrect because the first genetically engineered human insulin was not launched in 1990. Option (d) is incorrect because the first genetically engineered human insulin was not launched in 1993.
