Answer:

The correct list of compartments glucose enter is :

The lumen > plasma (extracellular fluid) > interstitial fluid (extracellular fluid) > the skeletal muscle cell (intracellular fluid)

Explanation:

The glucose molecule would start from the lumen of the intestine where is absorbed. The glucose enters the plasma a part of the circulatory system known as extracellular fluid.

The glucose also encounters another type of extracellular fluid the interstitial fluid that is not in the circulatory system. At the last glucose as it is entering the skeletal muscle cell the last fluid compartment, which is intracellular fluid. This fluid is inside the cells.
