    The correct answer is a. it is bound by cytoplasmic proteins that direct the nuclear protein to the nuclear pore.

    This sequence (NLS) serves to protein for import into the cell nucleus via nuclear transport. During the nuclear transport protein with an NLS will bind strongly to importin and together this complex will move through the nuclear pore into the nucleus.
