b. Mutations in body cells affect only the individual and are not passed on to the offspring.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
The first choice is correct for mutation can actually affect only one gene that is called a single mutation.
The second choice is again correct because there's this type of mutation called somatic mutation that does not pass their mutation to the offspring.
The last choice is correct again because the mutation of the parent can always be inherited to their offsprings.
