Answer:

D. They can be any of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutations can be beneficial to an organism because a mutation can help and organism survive in a particular environment.

Mutations can be neutral because because they do not change the amino acids in the proteins they encode.

Most mutations are not harmful, but some can be. A harmful mutation can result in a genetic disorder or even cancer.

So yes, the answer is all of the above.

Hope it helped!
