Answer: RNA polymerase.

Explanation: Transcription begins when RNA polymerase binds the promoter and starts synthesizing RNA. (In bacteria a sigma factor helps polymerase find the promoter; in eukaryotes general transcription factors recruit RNA polymerase II. Repressors are proteins that inhibit initiation, they don't start transcription.)
