Solution

The correct option is B Mutation
The reason of fault in gene duplication is the mutation. A mutation is a change in DNA, the hereditary material of life. An organism's DNA affects how it looks, how it behaves, and its physiology. So a change in an organism's DNA can cause changes in all aspects of its life.
Mutations are essential to evolution; they are the raw material of genetic variation. So, the correct answer is option C.
