A
100
B
1000
C
10000
D
none of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The concentration of insulin is the number of units of insulin in one milliliter (mL). Insulin vials and pens commonly have a concentration of 100 units in 1 mL (100 units/mL), which is called U-100.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, in 100ml of the whisky, there would be 4 units. And hence, a 25ml single measure of whisky would contain 1 unit. The maths is straightforward. To calculate units, take the quantity in millilitres, multiply it by the ABV (expressed as a percentage) and divide by 1, 000.

Detailed explanation-3: -Quick Links. Each ml contains 100 IU insulin human (equivalent to 3.5 mg). Each cartridge contains 3 ml of solution for injection, equivalent to 300 IU insulin. One IU (International Unit) corresponds to 0.035 mg of anhydrous human insulin*.
