Why is transcription-coupled repair (TCR) considered particularly efficient when compared to nucleotide excision repair (NER)?

A. The exinuclease employed in TCR removes a smaller fragment containing the damage. B. TCR targets transcriptionally active regions for repair over damage in less active parts of the genome. C.
