The best choice is: "When the protein for a particular gene is formed."
Explanation: gene expression is the process by which the information in a gene is used to produce a functional product. For protein‑coding genes that means the gene is considered expressed when its mRNA is transcribed and that mRNA is translated into the protein. (Note: some genes produce functional RNAs instead of proteins, so expression can also be said to occur at transcription for those genes.)
