Mutations can occur in all the parts of the DNA read, frameshift mutations are the ones that accur during translation because ribosomes read the mRNA strand leading to an alteration of the amino acid sequence. But we can not say that the trasnlation is the part of the process where most of the mutations occurs, since there is several steps where it can happen during the cell division. Therefore, the affirmation is false.
