If four genes are in the same region of a eukaryotic chromosome, then
A)the four promoters must be oriented such that two genes are transcribed using the Watson strand as a template and two genes use the Crick strand.
B)the four promoters must be oriented such that all four genes are transcribed using the same strand as the template.
C)the four promoters may be oriented such that some of the genes are transcribed using the Watson strand as template, and others use the Crick strand.
D)the genes can be transcribed from different strands only if their promoters are more than 1 kilobase apart.
E)the genes must be in a gene family.

In eukaryotic chromosomes, genes can be oriented in any direction, allowing some genes to be transcribed from the Watson strand and others from the Crick strand, regardless of their proximity. This flexibility in orientation facilitates diverse gene expression regulation.
