In Plants,transposons Are Often the Cause of Variegation (The Formation

In plants,transposons are often the cause of variegation (the formation of white stripes of cells on a green leaf) .Which of the following explains why a transposon might have this effect?

A) The white cells are dead cells. When a transposon moves from one chromosome to another, it kills its host cell.
B) When a bacterium infects a plant cell, the plant cell begins producing bacterial proteins rather than plant proteins.
C) When a transposon "jumps" into the gene involved in the production of the green pigment in a plant, the gene no longer functions so the cells are all white.
D) When a transposon enters a cell, it inhibits the translation of all proteins.
