Answer #1

since lacI gene producing repressor protein so it will bind to the operator and inhibit the transcription of lac operon. and in the question lactose is also present, so lactose will bind to the repressor protein and inactivates it. because of inactivation, it will no longer be able to bind to the operator sequence, so RNA polymerase will able to bind to the promoter region and start the transcription of lac operon.
