Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Missense is the right answer.

Missense mutation applies to a shift in one amino acid in a proteid, emerging from a point mutation in an individual nucleotide. Missense variation is a kind of nonsynonymous replacement in a DNA chain. Another example of nonsynonymous replacement is a absurdity variation in which a codon is mutated to an unanticipated end codon that appears in truncation of the resulting proteid. Missense variations can provide the coming proteid nonfunctional and these variations are accountable for human disorders such as sickle-cell illness, Epidermolysis bullosa etc.
