Gene regulation governing lactose operon...

Gene regulation governing lactose operon of E.coli that involves the lac I gene product is

A

negative and inducible because repressor protein prevents transcription

B

negative and repressible because repressor protein prevents transcription

C

feedback inhibition because excess of `beta`- galactosidase can switch off trascription

D

positive and inducible because it can be induced by lactose

Gene therapy is an attempt to correct a genetic defect by providing a normal gene into the individual. By this the normal function can be restored. Alternate method would be to provide the gene product (protein/enzyme) know as enzyme replacement therapy, which would also restore the function. Which in your opinion is a better option? Give reason for your answer.
