In this context, the correct response is:

can change DNA sequences.

Mutations involve alterations in the DNA sequence itself, while epigenetics refers to changes in gene expression that do not involve changes to the DNA sequence. In contrast, both mutations and epigenetic changes can influence traits and can be inherited in certain circumstances.
