Solution
The correct option is B Promoter
The first step of transcription is called initiation, during which the enzyme RNA polymerase binds on to the promoter region which is also known as the TATA box. This region always has the sequence TATAAA on one DNA strand, and ATATTT on the complementary strand. RNA polymerase specifically identifies this region on the DNA molecule to initiate transcription.
