You Are Studying the Function of a Recently Identified Gene

You are studying the function of a recently identified gene in C.elegans.You perform genetic screens for several months in an attempt to isolate loss-of-function gene mutations,but your efforts are unsuccessful.Your advisor suggests you try another approach to eliminate gene function.The best technique to accomplish this goal would be

A) to design a repressor to bind to the operon of this gene.
B) use a histone deacetylase to induce a transcriptionally inactive state.
C) use a C.elegans strain with a homozygous TFIID mutation to prevent the translation initiation complex from forming.
D) use RNA interference to prevent mRNA translation.
