Brief Explanations

Kinases are enzymes that transfer a phosphate group from a high - energy molecule (such as ATP) to a specific target protein, a process called phosphorylation. Phosphorylase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group from inorganic phosphate to a substrate. Adenylyl cyclase converts ATP to cyclic AMP. ATPase hydrolyzes ATP.

Answer:

D. kinase
