Hi there!

Mutations can be either bad or good. When a mutation occurs in a population, something changes. This could occur throughout the entire population or in just a small group. Mutations increase variety and cause alleles to change.

ANSWER:
C - Mutations increase variety in a population

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
