The correct answer is: A. A change in a cell's genetic material.

Mutations occur in DNA as a result of mistakes during the DNA replication (when repair mechanisms don’t fix it) or as the result of environmental factors (e.g. UV light). Mutations can have positive impact, by increasing the genetic variation or can have negative effect, causing the diseases or cancer.

Burka [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Transcribing information in the DNA sequence for use by the cell.

Explanation:

The transcription process is the process that involves copying the sequence of DNA, that sequence is the information or code for the particular protein, to make RNA molecule that brings the information to the ribosome where translation process initiated to produce amino acid chain.

In the given diagram, the cellular process is showing is transcription as there is transcribing the sequence is shown which copy the sequence that is used for the cell and a useful part of protein synthesis
