Who discovered insulin?

Matthew Evans and Henry Woodward

Sir Frederick Banting of Toronto and Charles Best

Insulin was discovered by Sir Frederick Banting of Toronto and Charles Best. Although it may seem tempting to choose A (Matthew Evans and Henry Woodward), they were actually researchers who created a pancreatic extract similar to insulin, but it was not as effective. Alexander Graham Bell (option C) is best known for inventing the telephone, and Joseph-Armand Bombardier (option D) is known for inventing the snowmobile, neither of which are associated with the discovery of insulin. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it accurately identifies the individuals who discovered insulin.
