Solution

The correct answer is "silent mutation". A silent mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotide bases which constitutes DNA, such that the changed sequence codes for the same amino acid as the original sequence. This is due to the degenerate nature of the genetic code, where multiple codons can code for the same amino acid.
