The correct answer is human protein coded for by the human gene.

Bacteria can not make difference between human and it's own genes. If a human gene is added to bacterial genome, bacterial mechanisms will translate it to protein according to nucleotide sequence in that particular gene. So, the product is going to be a human protein translated by bacterial machinery for the process of translation.
