Solution
The correct option is C Aromatic amines
Methane is the simplest alkane with chemical formula CH4 and is the main component of natural gas, not a mutagen. Caffeine is a CNS stimulant which is present in beverages and is most frequently used the psychoactive drug. This can make the person alert and make him feel energetic. Guanine is a purine nitrogenous base of nucleic acids and pairs with cytosine. Aromatic amines are the amine with the aromatic substituent, for example, 2-amino purine. 2-aminopurine is a purine analogue that acts like adenine and forms two hydrogen bonds with thymine. But its enol form pair with cytosine which means that its keto- form replaces adenine and its enol form replaces guanine thereby, causing transition mutations which make option D correct.
