A solution of [U 14C] glucose-1-phosphate (specific activity = 16,000 cpm/mmole) was  incubated with glycogen and glycogen phosphorylase, an enzyme which adds glucose units on to  glycogen. Radioactivity was incorporated into the glycogen primer at a rate = 2550 cpm/min. The rate  of the enzymatic reaction in units of mmole glucose incorporated per minute is:  (a) 0.016 mmol/min  (b) 0.57 mmol/min  (c) 0.16 mmol/min  (d) 5.7 mmol/min
