Answer:

Option A. they less severely affect the phenotype, so that individuals can reproduce and transmit them

Explanation:

Polymorphism is the genetic variation found within a population, which favors the process of natural selection. It prefer successful traits in population.

While, mutation is the alteration of DNA sequence of an organism. Mutation can cause loss of traits in the population.
