In the context of gene regulation, how does the binding of cAMP to CRP influence the expression of genes involved in lactose metabolism?

• A. It prevents CRP from binding to DNA, reducing gene expression.
• B. It has no effect on CRP's ability to bind to DNA or influence gene expression.
• C. It enables CRP to bind to DNA more effectively, enhancing gene expression.
• D. It triggers the degradation of CRP, diminishing gene expression.

Answer: (C)
