Solution

The correct option is C snRNA
Pseudogenes can be located anywhere within a genome, and retrotransposition of processed pseudogenes causes them to be clustered adjacent to their paralogous functional gene or can be inserted into a different chromosome. Human U1 small nuclear (sn)RNA, required for splicing of pre-mRNA, is encoded by genes on chromosome 1 (1p36). Imperfect copies of these U1 snRNA genes, also located on chromosome 1 (1q12-21), were thought to be pseudogenes.
So, the correct answer is 'snRNA.'
