What Purpose Does the Phosphorylation of Glucose to Glucose 6-Phosphate

What purpose does the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate by the enzyme hexokinase serve as the first step in glycolysis?

A) It helps drive the uptake of glucose from outside the cell.
B) It generates a high-energy phosphate bond.
C) It converts ATP to a more useful form.
D) It enables the glucose 6-phosphate to be recognized by phosphofructokinase, the next enzyme in the glycolytic pathway.
