Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
DNA contains regions that encode proteins (through the process of transcription and translation), regions that encode various forms of RNA (such as mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, and others), and regions that can bind to proteins such as repressors and transcription factors, which regulate the expression of genes.
