The answer is letter A. substitution of 3rd N-base to go from AUU to AUC. Substitution mutations are a type of mutation in which a single nucleotide is substituted with a different nucleotide. There are many different ways that DNA can be changed, resulting in different types of mutation; this are the type of mutations Substitution, Insertion, Deletion, Frameshift.
