    The correct answer is option C, that is, scientists made DNA to match each possible sequence of mRNA.

    Explanation:

    In order to produce insulin, the human insulin-producing gene is extracted from the pancreas cell, after that the probable mRNA sequence for insulin is obtained. The bacterial DNA along with the restriction enzyme is utilized to produce the recombinant DNA of the human insulin-generating gene. The recombinant DNA is then presented into the bacterium, the bacteria comprising recombinant DNA then proliferate to produce human insulin.
