Solution

The correct option is A Split gene
An interrupted gene is otherwise called as split gene. It is a gene that contains sections of DNA called exons, which are expressed as RNA and protein, interrupted by sections of DNA called introns, which are not expressed. In split genes, the coding sequences are split into several parts due to introns.
