Answer»

The correct choice is (a) DETEMIR

To explain I would say: Detemir is marketed under the brand name Levemir and manufactured by Novo Nordisk. It is an INSULIN analogue in which a FATTY acid (myristic acid) is bound to the lysine amino acid at position B29. It is QUICKLY absorbed after which it binds to ALBUMIN in the blood through its fatty acid at position B29. It then slowly dissociates from this complex.
