Answer:

(D). The replacement of a single base, producing a stop codon.

Explanation:

Mutations represent permanent changes in genetic material due to alteration in DNA sequences. A mutation converts a sense codon (codon that codes for a particular amino acid) to a stop codon, is known as nonsense mutations.

It leads to formation of a non-functional and truncated protein as due to stop codon translation halts in middle.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
