Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The glucose is the basic unit of energy. It is absorbed by the cells of the body. The glucose that is taken inside the body by the means of food is utilized to gain energy.

The glucose that is absorbed from the food moves to interstitial spaces before going inside the cell.

100% of the glucose is transferred from the interstitial spaces of the cell to the inside of the cell.

This is because more amount of the glucose is still outside the cell as it is absorbed completely.
