Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription factors include activators, repressors, and enhancers. Activators bind to specific DNA sequences to increase transcription, while repressors bind to DNA sequences to decrease transcription. Enhancers are non-coding DNA sequences that can increase transcription by binding to activators. Therefore, the correct choice is C.
