How is lac operon transcription regulated by the presence or absence of lactose?

a. When lactose is not available, the repressor will bind to the promoter and block RNA polymerase from transcribing the genes of the lac operon. b. When lactose is available, the repressor will bind to the lactose instead of blocking RNA polymerase. c. When lactose is not available, the repressor will bind to allolactose. d.
