(C) The $C$-peptide is an extra stretch of amino acids present in proinsulin that is not found in mature insulin.Proinsulin consists of three chains: $A$,$B$,and $C$.During the maturation process,where proinsulin is converted into active insulin,the $C$-peptide is removed.Therefore,mature insulin consists only of $A$ and $B$ chains linked by disulfide bonds.
