The correct statement is:
Neutral mutations occur when a mutation in a DNA region results in the same sequence as the original.
Neutral mutations do not affect an organism's fitness and can often occur in non-coding regions or as synonymous changes in coding regions, where the amino acid sequence remains the same. The other statements describe harmful mutations or advantageous mutations, which are not characteristics of neutral mutations.
