The true statement is:

Neutral mutations occur when a mutation in a DNA region results in the same sequence as the original.

Neutral mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that do not provide a selective advantage or disadvantage to the organism, often because they do not change the protein that is produced or occur in non-coding regions of the DNA.
