Correct Answer - D
Regulatory sequences (proteins) control the functions of structural genes and are at called regulatory genes. The important regulatory genes are promoters, terminators, operators and repressor .
To regulate the process of transcription, transcription factors (a sequence of specific DNA-binding factor) alone or with other promoter(as on activator ) or stop as a repress or the binding site of RNA polymerase to DNA
