Answer:

The correct answer is - option D. nonsense and frameshift.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a change in the sequence of DNA resulting in premature stop codon mRNA during transcription is known as a nonsense mutation and result in a non-functional protein.

a frame-shift mutation takes place when at least two nucleotides are altered and there are less chances to be changed by two others coding for the same nucleotide. It leads to a non-functional protein.
