Answer: C. Hyperglycemia (high blood glucose levels) as cells cannot respond properly to insulin

Explanation:

Correct option: Insulin functions by binding to specific receptors on the surface of cells, such as muscle, fat, and liver cells.
This binding allows cells to take in glucose from the bloodstream.
When the insulin receptors are defective, the cells cannot recognize and respond to insulin.
As a result, glucose cannot enter the cells effectively, leading to a buildup of glucose in the bloodstream and hyperglycemia.

Incorrect options:

A. Normal blood glucose levels because the pancreas will secrete more insulin: Even if the pancreas secretes more insulin, the defective receptors...
