Answer #1

Answer:- (B). Fur.

Fep C, G, D, IM pump in an operon, fepCDG, are on one mRNA. FepCDG is regulated environmentally, so that the pump is expressed only when Fe is minimal in the environment. The fur box is the handler for this operon. Fur box partially overlaps fep supporting sequence.In the fep promoter / operator, the fur binds to the fur box. This will block transcription. Fur binds to the Operator and Fe. Fe causes binding of the fur inhibiting the production of pumps that inhibits the transport of fe. The synthesis of Siderophore also has a fur-box. The manufacture of pumps is synchronized.
