You are studying regulation of a prokaryotic operon. Experiments show that expression of the operon is increased when levels of biosynthetic product from that pathway are low. Based on this information, what is a likely mode of regulation?  

A.  The product binds a repressor, allowing it to bind the operator. B.  The product binds an activator, helping RNA polymerase to bind the promoter. C.  The product binds a repressor, preventing it from binding the operator. D.  The product binds to the biosynthetic enzymes, blocking them directly.
