James is working with the lac operon of Escherichia coli (E. coli). He places the bacteria on a plate of growth media. Based on the current understanding of this operon, which hypothesis would be useful for James to test?

Question illustration
A
Addition of allolactose (inducer) to the bacterial growth media should increase the speed at which the bacteria metabolize the sugar lactose.
B
Removal of the RNA polymerase molecule should increase the amount of bacterial growth on the plate.
C
Decreasing the amount of allolactose (inducer) in the bacterial growth media should increase the rate of bacterial growth.
D
Increasing the rate at which RNA polymerase acts will inhibit bacterial growth.
