A) early on, due to the presence of lactose, the bacteria utilize the lac operon. Glucose is used later. 
B) the bacteria are utilizing both sugars simultaneously. 
C) the presence of glucose causes the formation of cAMP catabolic repressor protein (CRP) complexes, which shut down the lac operon until the glucose is used up.

E) none of the above
