Solution

The correct option is A Transferases
Transferase is an enzyme which transfers a group from one molecule to another molecule. Hexokinase is the enzyme which transfers one phosphate from ATP to glucose and forms glucose 6-phosphate.
(Glucose + ATP ⟶ Glucose 6-P + ADP)
Thus, the correct answer is A.
