What would happen if a mutation created a new ailele that decreased fitness?

a. The nen alle would spread through the population and decrease the foness of the population
ob. The new aliele would decrease the finess of the individual that possessed it and that individual would have few or no oftspring,
OC. The individual with the new ailele would wait for an environmental change so that is finess would increase again
od. The allele would be deleted by the bodys generic control mechanisms
Oe. The new ailele would have to change back to an allele of higher fitness so the possessor of that allele could maintain its fitness
