Solution

The correct option is A Transposase
Transposable elements are jumping genes which change their position on the DNA. Transposase is an enzyme that binds to the end of a transposon and catalyses the movement of the transposon to another part of the genome by a cut and paste mechanism or a replicative transposition mechanism.
So, the correct answer is option A.
