Solution

The correct option is A promoter
The RNA polymerase enzyme binds to a specific site called promoter and initiates transcription. The promoter region determines which DNA strand is to be transcribed. Thus, a promoter region has RNA polymerase recognition site and RNA polymerase binding site.
So, the correct answer is 'promoter'
