The answer is A

High tryptophan: The tryptophan binds to the trp repressor and causes it to change shape, converting into its active (DNA-binding) form. The trp repressor with the bound tryptophan attaches to the operator, blocking RNA polymerase from binding to the promoter and preventing transcription of the operon.
