Answer:

B) rough ER → Golgi complex → Golgi vesicle → extracellular fluid

Explanation:

  • Insulin is synhtesized by beta cells of pancereas (preproinsulin).
  • Insulin enters the rough endoplasmic reticulumn in its inactive form (proinsulin).
  • The rough endoplasmic reticulumn converts it to active form (insulin).
  • The rough endoplasmic reticulumn transfer the insulin to glogi comlpex
  • The Golgi complex secrete it in golgi vesicles to cytoplasm.
  • On the stimulation of beta cells insulin is secreted to extracellular fluid..
