Selected Answer: C
C. 12 noon Regular human insulin (short-acting insulin) has an onset, peak, and duration as follows: - Onset: 30 to 60 minutes - Peak: 2 to 4 hours after administration - Duration: 6 to 8 hours Since the insulin was given at 9:00 AM, the peak action would occur approximately 2 to 4 hours later, which places the peak time between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Among the available options, 12:00 PM is the best choice, as it falls within this range.
