Which one of the following experimental designs is most suited to answer whether a newly discovered transposable element

In molecular biology, nucleic acid structure and recombination dictates that hairpin formation, Holliday junction resolution and translation control ensure fidelity. Therefore Introduce an intron which can be spliced out, in the transposable element and... is correct as it matches molecular mechanisms, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.

Ref: Watson et al., Molecular Biology of the Gene, 7th Edition, Chapter 9, Transcription and RNA Processing, describes RNA hairpin formation, secondary structures and regulatory mechanisms controlling gene expression.
