Solution

The correct option is C
Promoter

A promoter is a region of DNA which initiates transcription of a particular gene which is located towards the 5' end of the structural gene. RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region and by many transcription factors. Transcription factors and RNA polymerase bind to the promoter together forming a transcription initiation complex.
