Solution

The correct option is C 5 (upstream) end and 3 (downstream) end, respectively of the transcription unit
The promoter sequence needs to lie in front of the start site or upstream to it in the 5' end and the terminator should lie in the 3' end downstream as transcription proceeds in the 5' to 3' direction.
So, the correct answer is, '5 (upstream) end and 3 (downstream) end, respectively of the transcription unit'.
