Solution

The correct option is A Intron
An intron is any nucleotide sequence within a gene that is removed by spliceosome during the post transcritional modification of heterogenous mRNA . The final mature mRNA will not have the intronic sequences, only exons which are linked together (after intron removal) will be present. Thus, the correct option is B.
