Answer:  Insulin is a hormone, which is secreted by the pancreas to regulate the sugar levels in the bloodstream.

Explanation:

Insulin is a protein hormone if take orally, will get digested in the digestive tract, it will not be able to affect the target site of action.

Insulin gets denatured in the digestive tract. Thus it will not be able to control the blood sugar levels.

Nancy has taken the insulin dose orally, the insulin will get denatured in the digestive system, it will not function and Nancy will remain hyperglycemic after the consumption.

Something is adaptive if it is a useful trait but not necessarily one that occurred in response to a particular selection pressure. Basically a trait is an adaptation if it is the product of selection, and adaptive if it is beneficial in the present time.
