<h2>c) is the correct option</h2>

Explanation:

Inhibition of Cdk activity occurs by Cdk inhibitory protein (CIPs)

A group of specific proteins called CIPs binds with active cyclin Cdk complex and cause their inactivation
Activated protein retinoblastoma (p53)act as transcriptional factor and induce synthesis of Cdk inhibitory proteins p21CIPs
p21CIPs is a Cdk inhibitory protein that binds and inhibit the activity of G1 Cdk cyclin complex as a result cell cycle arrest in G1 phase
