Answer: (C) ubiquitylation
Explanation: In eukaryotes, proteins destined for degradation are typically tagged with ubiquitin in a process known as ubiquitylation. This marks them for destruction by the proteasome. Phosphorylation, carboxylation, and methylation are modifications that do not directly target proteins for degradation.
