If the same protein keeps being produced it could be said that nothing is happening even though something happened, and if nothing is changing you could say that it is a silent mutation, which means that the answer is C.) Silent. The change in the amino acids and the nucleotides happened but it is silent and does not affect the outcome of the protein synthesis.
