Solution

The correct option is B Gratuitous inducer
Gratuitous inducers resemble authentic inducers of transcription but are not substrates for the induced enzymes. It can initiate transcription when the original inducer is absent. Iso-proppylthiogalactoside (IPTG) is used as an inducer in the lac operon when the lactose and allolactose are used up. It acts as non metabolized inducer.
So, the correct answer is option B.
