How are bacteria able to adapt to a rapidly changing environment? A) During transcription, RNA polymerase is unable to bind and
commence transcription. B) Bacterial genes, in a rapidly changing environment, mutate rapidly in response to these changes. C) Bacterial genes are organized into operons, clusters of coregulated genes, that are regulated such that they are all turned on or off together. D) Bacterial cells are prokaryotic and genes have ready access to the ribosomes within the cell's cytoplasm. Transcription, then, take place at a very rapid rate.

Your answer would be C because A affects the natural environment and can cause harm to it, B would affect the surrounding animal population and cause imbalances in biodiversity if they are not able to eat the foods they are used to, and D is not much of a benefit since you are losing the flavor that is naturally in the plants.
