The correct answer is: c. An operon is a region of DNA that codes for a series of functionally related genes under the control of the same promoter.

Operons contain cluster of genes that are transcribed together into mRNA or are not expressed at all. Formed mRNA undergos splicing to create monocistronic mRNAs so that can be translated separately. Operons are more often found in prokaryotic cells but it can appear in eukaryotic cells and in viruses.
