The answer is d because RNA polymerase binds to a promoter and a repressor, such as Trp repressor binds to an operator.

In bacteria, a mutation in the promoter could influence rna polymerase binding, and a mutation in the operator could influence repressor binding.

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The transcription process is an ideal process that helps in the production of the RNA by using DNA with the help of the RNA polymerase enzyme, the sequence of the DNA to which the RNA polymerase enzyme binds initially is termed as the promoter whereas the operator is the sequence that influences the binding of the gene repressor proteins.
