The correct answer is a substitution mutation.

A mutation, which substitute’s one base for another, that is, a change in a solitary chemical letter like switching an A to a G is known as a substitution mutation. This kind of substitution can modify a codon to something, which encrypts a distinct amino acid and leads to a small modification in the generated protein.
