Target tissue of insulin is:

  1. A
    Red Blood Cell
  2. B
    Kidney tissues
  3. C
    Small intestinal tissues
  4. D
    None of the above

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The primary physiological target tissues of insulin are skeletal muscle cells, adipose (fat) tissue, and hepatocytes (liver cells). It binds to receptors on these cells to stimulate glucose uptake and storage. Since Red Blood Cells, kidney tissues, and small intestinal tissues are not primary targets regulating systematic glucose clearing under standard insulin pathways, "None of the above" is the correct choice.
