C is a correct answer :) because genes are responsible for inheriting traits and only mutations ocurring in gametes pass to the offspring.

Answer:

C)gene alterations in gametes.

Explanation:

This is what is known as a mutation, which is defined as any change that is inheritable in the genome. These changes can be:

-At the level of genes: gene or specific

-At the level of chromosomes: change in the segment of a chromosome, an entire chromosome or even a complete set of chromosomes. Its possible causes can be:

-spontaneous: errors made by DNA polymerase during DNA replication.

- Induced by mutagenic agents: they react with DNA producing a structural change that affects one of the strands of the double helix.
