Suppose an Experimenter Becomes Proficient with a Technique That Allows

Suppose an experimenter becomes proficient with a technique that allows her to move DNA sequences within a prokaryotic genome. If a researcher moves the repressor gene (lacI) , along with its promoter, to a position at some several thousand base pairs away from its normal position, which of the following results would be expected?

A) The repressor will no longer bind to the operator.
B) The repressor will no longer bind to the inducer.
C) The lac operon will be expressed continuously.
D) The lac operon will function normally.
