Answer: C
Explanation: DNA replication is semiconservative — each parental strand serves as a template. If a single-base change is present on one parental strand, replication will produce one normal daughter helix and one daughter helix carrying the base change. That altered sequence can change a single codon and thus alter one amino acid (a point mutation), so option C is the most accurate.
