Answer»

The correct OPTION is (d) Negative REGULATION

Easiest explanation: The regulation of a LAC operon by the repressor is known as negative regulation. At rare occasions, lac OPERONS are ALSO observed to be under the control of positive regulation. In negative regulation, the operon cannot transcribe the RNA polymerase enzyme.
