The right option is; differentiation

Differentiation is the process that involves the turning off or on the genetic information of a cell.

Differentiation is the process in which a young and immature cell changes into a specialized cell (a mature form with distinct function). Generic embryonic cells undergo differentiation to become specialized cells through the process of gene expression in which specific combination of genetic instructions are turned on (expressed) or off (repressed).
