b. Mutation is always harmful to an organism’s survival.

Step-by-step explanation:

when mutation occur they can cause termination (death) of an organism or they can be partially lethal. this means that a organism has difficulty adapting to and surviving in its environment.

NB: mutations are usually the cause of many diseases and defects in an organisms life
