Solution

The correct option is A Reversible
The genome of an organism undergoes changes without altering genetic codes. It is known as epigenetics.
Epigenetics encompasses all inheritable, although reversible changes in the genome, that do not alter the DNA code but result from both development and environment.
So, the correct option is 'Reversible'.
