Step by step solution

01

Identify the insulin peak time

First, understand that regular insulin peaks between 2 to 4 hours after administration.
02

Calculate snack time

Since the insulin was given at 7:00 a.m., we will add 2 to 4 hours to that time to identify the time range for the insulin's peak. Thus, the snack should be offered between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
03

Choose the correct option

Now, compare the calculated snack time to the provided options to determine the correct answer. The correct answer is: C. 11:00 a.m.
