Answer:

C. All of the base pairs after the mutation shift.

Step-by-step explanation:

Frameshift mutation changes the way genetic code is read and thus changes the entire amino acid sequences. The amino acid sequences change from a base pair change which results in a chain of changes in the amino acid sequence.
