The Benefit of the Bacterial Operon Is That ________

The benefit of the bacterial operon is that ________.

A) since the proteins coded for by the operon structural genes work as a team,they are regulated (i.e.induced or repressed) as a team,thus saving energy
B) the structural genes can be regulated individually,affording the cell more control over the protein products
C) the split genes can be cut and spliced back together with greater precision than with single genes
D) they are much less prone to mutation than individual genes
