Answer:

This are epigenetic modification: a, b and c. (changes on histones, removal and nucleosomes formation.

Explanation:

Histone modification is a key step in genomic regulation. Activation of histones leads DNA to form new nucleosomes, which low transcription levels in this zone.

On the other hand, deactivation of histones removes those nucleosomes, permitting DNA to be transcripted.
