I think it's C based on this statement:

The trp operon is control negatively by the trp repressor, including the corepressor, tryptophan which signals the cell that it has made enough of this amino acid. The corepressor binds to the aporepressor, changing its conformation so it can bind better to the trp operator, thereby repressing the operon.
