Solution

The correct option is C Isomerization
Glucose and fructose sugars are isomers of each other. When Glucose-6-phosphate is converted to Fructose- 6-phosphate, this process is known as isomerization. In this reaction, one molecule is converted to another molecule which exactly has the same atoms.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
