Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The intermediate stage that group II introns pass through during self-splicing is called the lariat. Lariat is a loop structure formed when the intron folds back on itself, creating a structure resembling a lasso. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. The other options, such as Langolier, Lanyard, Elsesser, do not have any relevance with group II introns or self-splicing.
