Phosphorylation of glucose is increased by
- A. Auxins
- B. Insulin
- C. Ethylene

Step-by-step solution
Insulin promotes glucose uptake and activates hexokinase, which catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, thereby increasing glucose phosphorylation. The other options (auxins, ethylene, traumatic acid) are plant hormones and do not directly increase glucose phosphorylation in animals.
