Question
This figure represents the ABC operon, which is a **negative inducible** operon, and its associated regulatory gene. The structural genes produced by the operon convert molecule A into molecule D. When molecule A is present in the environment, it will bind to the regulatory protein, and operon expression will be induced.

**Diagram Explanation:**

- **Structure:**
  - The diagram consists of a sequence of genetic elements with labeled components.
  
- **Regulatory Gene:**
  - Labeled as *testR*. This gene produces a regulatory protein.

- **Operon Components:**
  - **Promoter:** Labeled as *testP*, where RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription.
  - **Operator:** A segment adjacent to the promoter, involved in regulating access of RNA polymerase.
  - **Structural Genes:** Labeled as *test0*, *test1*, *test2*, and *test3*, which encode structural proteins.

- **Process:**
  - The operon includes the sequence from promoter to structural genes, responsible for protein synthesis.
  - When molecule A binds to the regulatory protein, the operon's expression is triggered, leading to the synthesis of molecules converting A to D.

**Question:**

For that same partial diploid genotype:

In the *absence* of molecule A, what functional structural proteins are produced?

**Options:**

- Nothing
- testR
- testP
- test1
- test2
- test3

Select the correct option based on the scenario described.
