Solution

The correct option is C Mutation
Mutations occur in genetic material and hence are inherited from one generation to the next. The majority of mutations are harmful and hence, usually not conserved for generations. However, a tiny fraction of them may be beneficial and these will be passed on through generations. Mutations are one of the fundamental causes of genetic variations in a population.
