The final coding sequence, GGGC, is the same as the original in all sequences shown. The initial coding sequence differs from ATTTGC in sequences

Changes in the red non-coding sequences are also seen in sequences 1, 2, and 4. While these changes may not lead to a faulty protein, they may alter the way it is expressed or the effect it has. (Your question does not seem to be concerned with these changes.)
Answer: The correct answer is-
an agent that causes a mutation in DNA.
Mutagen is an agent or a substance that causes permanent change in the genetic material of living organisms ( DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid). This process is called mutation.
A mutagen can be a chemical, physical or biological agent that causes mutation in the DNA.
Example- Physical agents such as -
- Ionizing radiations like alpha particles, gamma rays, X-rays that brings break in the DNA and cause other damages.
- Ultraviolet radiations that creates pyrimidine dimers ( T=T) and causes replication errors if damage is not repaired.
