<u>Answer</u>: operator

Operons are the functioning units of a gene within a certain DNA segment. The operator within an operon represents a DNA segment to which an activated repressor protein binds to. When this occurs, the transcription is prevented.  

By controlling the operon, an organism is capable of regulation the expression on various genes. This is prompted by different environmental factors.
