Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

First what is a point mutation?

A point mutation is a mutation that changes the sequence (simplified)

like you see in the image, the G changed to a C

A deletion mutation is a mutation that gets deleted from the sequence and that's it

A insertion mutation is a mutation that gets added into the sequence and that's it

Since nothing was added nor deleted, it is not A or B

therefore, we have C
