Solution

The correct option is C Due to change in nitrogenous base sequence
A gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence, that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) or nitrogenous base sequence to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
