Answer:

There are no options to this question but the answer is FRAMESHIFT MUTATION.

Explanation:

Changes occurs to the nuceleotide sequences in the genome of organisms from time to time. These changes are either caused by mistakes during DNA replication or induced by mutagens (mutation-causing substances). The change described here is regarded as MUTATION.

However, MUTATION can be of different types depending on how it occurs. In this question, it is called a FRAMESHIFT MUTATION. Frameshift mutation is a mutation caused by the deletion or addition of one or more nuceleotide base in the sequence, leading to an alteration in the way the sequence will be read i.e. the frameshift.

In this question, a Thymine base was removed from the sequence during DNA replication. This is a deletion mutation that will lead to changing the way the sequence will be read during translation because it has affected the three codons per amino acid reading. Hence, because it will affect the reading pattern of the sequence, it is called a FRAMESHIFT MUTATION.

Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects connective tissue, leading to abnormal skeletal development, lens deformities
IgorLugansk [536]

Marfan syndrome can be caused by a substitution mutation in the FBN1 gene. This mutation is likely a harmful mutation.

From the DNA sequence of unaffected individual and  

individual with Marfan syndrome we can see that C is substituted with G. Each parent with the Marfan syndrome has a 50% risk of passing the genetic defect on to offspring because of its autosomal dominant nature, so the mutation is harmful.
