Splicesomes are responsible for removing introns from pre-mRNA to create mature mRNA. If splicesomes were mutated and no longer functioned normally, introns would remain in the mature mRNA. This would lead to errors in translation and potentially nonfunctional proteins being produced. Therefore, the best choice is A.
