Solution
The correct option is B
Rho factor Rhofactor
The Rho factor is a specific chain terminating protein which binds to the RNA polymerase at times to facilitate the termination of transcription.
It recognises a specific sequence on the template strand and causes the RNA Polymerase to leave the template strand and release the RNA transcript completely.
