Answer:

b. UDP

Step-by-step explanation:

Uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP) is a nucleotide sugar involved in galactose metabolism. In this reaction, the galactose 1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) enzyme transfers a phosphate group from UDP-glucose to galactose 1-phosphate in order to convert galactose into glucose
