Which statement regarding the regulation of initiation in E. coli is CORRECT?

A) DnaA binds its consensus sequence at oriC only when the sequence is fully acetylated.
B) After replication, the DNA at oriC is hemi-acetylated and in this state it cannot bind DnaA.
C) After replication the DNA at oriC is hemi-methylated, and in this state it binds DnaA with high affinity.
D) The binding affinity of DnaA for its binding sites in oriC is dependent only on methylation of DNA.
E) DnaA binds its consensus sequence at oriC only when the sequence is fully methylated.
