Solution
The correct option is D Lethal
1) Spontaneous mutations are the mutations that occur naturally (may arise from error in DNA replication or Spontaneous Deamination of 5-Methyl-cytosine)2) Induced mutations are the mutations that occurs due to external environmental causes or mutagens (such X-rays or UV radiations).
3) Deleterious mutation is a genetic alteration that increases an individual's susceptibility or predisposition to a certain disease or disorder.
4) Lethal mutation causes the death of an organism carrying the mutated genome.
So, the correct answer is 'Lethal'.
