Solution
The correct option is D Frame shift
Chromosome mutation is a change in the structure of the chromosome, leading to abnormalities.
Frameshift mutation is not a chromosomal mutation instead it is a genetic mutation in which the reading frame of DNA shifts due to addition or removal of gene. Hence the frame for reading codon shifts by a unit and codes for different protein.
