Answer:

The correct option is C which is, "Deletion, Nondisjunction, Replication, and Transformation".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Deletion is the process when one or more nucleotide is deleted from the genetic code in DNA.
  • Nondisjunction is the failure to separate the homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
  • While transformation is the addition of extra nucleotide in normal DNA.
  • And rapid replication also leads to errors in DNA replication.
  • All these processes lead to genetic abnormalities.
