Answer: The correct answer is : B. not transcribed

Step-by-step explanation: The regulatory protein of the lac operon is a repressor. A operon is a stretch of DNA consisting of an operator, a promoter, and genes for a related set of proteins, usually making up an entire metabolic pathway. The genes of an operon are sequentially ordered after the promoter.
