Solution

The correct option is C Somatic and Germinal


Somatic variations can develop in every cell of the body except germ cells (sperm and egg) and are not passed on to children.

Germinal variations refers to the variation found in germ cells. Several factors cause the genetic material of gametes or germ cells to become modified. These genetic differences can be found in ancestors and passed down to children.
