The answer is A. The mutation of the gene was a beneficial one.  It happened in a few individuals and increased their survival rate. The mutation was also inheritable hence was passed down generations. The new gene probably altered a protein involved in metabolism. There are two other types of mutations; deleterious and neutral.
