Answer:

A. Cadherins in desmosomes would no longer be anchored to intermediate filaments

Explanation:

Cadherins are Ca dependent molecules (proteins) that are involved in cell-cell adhesion (they are type of cell adhesion molecule-CAM). Cadherins are composed of: a small cytoplasmic component, a transmembrane component, and the extra-cellular part.

There are types of cadherins called desmosomal cadherins which are involved in the formation of desmosomes (structure for cell-cell adhesion) and they bind to linker proteins and keratin intermediate filaments.
