Solution

The correct option is B Hexokinase
Phosphoglucomutase :

Phosphoglucomutase catalyses the conversion of glucose- $1$ phosphate to glucose- $6$ -phosphate.

Phosphoglucoisomerase :

Phosphoglucose isomerase catalyzes the conversion of glucose- $6$ phosphate to fructose- $6$ phosphate.

Hexokinase :

Hexokinase catalyzes the conversion of glucose to glucose- $6$ - phosphate. In this reaction addition of phosphate group occurs which is known as phosphorylation.

Final answer : Hexokinase
