B
Subcutaneous = injection into tissues just below the dermis of the skin
Intramuscular (IM) = injection into a muscle
Intravenous (IV) = injection into a vein
Intradermal (ID) = injection into the dermis just under the epidermis
Insulin could be given into a vein using an infusion pump, but the question states it is an injection. Insulin should not be given into an artery.
