snRNPs pronounced as Snurps are small nuclear ribonucleo proteins (RNA + Proteins). They are used for splicing of hnRNA in the nucleus.
The RNA found within each snRNP is known as small nuclear RNA (snRNA). They are usually about 150 nucleotides long. snRNA is bound by a Ribonuclear protein (RNP) to activate its enzymatic activity. Hence, the correct answer is option D.
