Answer:

C) Protein synthesis is prevented.

Explanation:

When a gene is repressed, the process of transcription, which is the first step in protein synthesis, is inhibited. This means that the gene's DNA sequence is not transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which is necessary for protein synthesis to occur.
