What does the diagram depicts? 
A
Degradation of insulin
B
Formation of proinsulin
C
Maturation of proinsulin to insulin
D
Addition of C-peptide to proinsulin
Explanation
C- Peptide of the human insulin is eliminated through the maturation of pro-insulin to insulin. In mammals, including humans, insulin is synthesized as a pro-hormone that needs to be processed before it becomes a fully mature and functional hormone. This contains an extra stretch called C-peptide that is removed during the maturation into insulin. Hence, the correct answer is option "3" - Maturation of pro-insulin to insulin.
