    d. continuous transcription of the operon's genes

    Explanation:

    A repressor is a protein that binds to DNA preventing RNA polymerase from transcribing the target DNA. Mutations in the operon could result in the repressor not being able to bind to it thus allowing continuous transcription of the operon's gene.
