All options described can alter the level of expression of a gene

Explanation:

Gene expression in a particular organism can be influenced by the external environment in which the organism is found or develops, as well as the internal environment of the organism. In the case of the question, it refers to external factors that influence gene expression. Some of the external factors that can make this change are temperature, light, medications, chemicals, UV exposure, increased salinity or even presence/absence of energy substrates. These factors can determine which genes are turned on and off, thus influencing the way an organism develops.
