Solution
The correct option is C 5-Bromouracil
Base analogues are molecules that can substitute for normal bases in nucleic acids. Usually, substitution of a base analogue will result in altered base pairings and structural changes that affect DNA replication and transcription of genes.5-Bromouracil is a brominated derivative of uracil that acts as a base analog, substituting for thymine in DNA, and can induce DNA mutation.
So, the correct answer is '5-Bromouracil'.
