Answer:

The promoter

Step-by-step explanation:

The promoter region is the region of DNA sequence which the RNA polymer binds to to initiate transcription. In the archae and eukaryotes, the core portion of the promoter region is called the TATA BOX. The promoter region is also located upstream of the DNA and can about a 100-1000 base pairs long.
