Answer»

The correct answer is (b) Helix turn helix

Best explanation: Region 4.2 of sigma subunit has a helix turn helix MOTIF that HELPS it to bind to the major groove of DNA. The SIMILAR motif has been SEEN in region 3 as well. Zinc fingers and leucine zipper are examples of other DNA BINDING motif.
