Answer:
D) presence of transcription activators or repressors
Explanation:
The reason why this is not post-transcriptional regulation is that activators actually start the process of transcription by binding to specific sites. while on contrary when repressor binds it halt the process.
For example, there is a protein called CAP which in the presence of cAMP bind with promoter region and enhances the activity of RNA polymerase . While in the absence of cAMP it can not bind to promoter hence the transcription stooped.
So we can protect ourselves from the same virus if it attacks again in the future
