C

Explanation:

The operon is a constitution of genes transcribed together - hence developing a functional element to the cell - and have an operator and regulatory gene within it. The activity of the operon is regulated by a positive and negative feedback mechanism that is a response to the cells environment. An activator or a repressor molecule activates or represses, respectively, the transcription of the operon.
