Kruka [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is B high levels of lactose and high levels of cyclic AMP.

  On the other hand cyclic AMP is a positive regulator of  lac operon .The interaction of cyclic AMP with the promoter region of lac operon stimulates the binding of RNA polymerase in the promoter region to boost the expression of structural genes of lac operon such as Lac Z,Lac Y and Lac A.
