The correct response is:
No, because mutated viruses may be less likely to replicate.
While some mutations can provide advantages such as evading the immune response or enhancing transmission, not all mutations are beneficial. Many mutations can be neutral or even detrimental to the virus’s ability to replicate or infect hosts. Thus, it's inaccurate to say that all mutations are always beneficial for the virus.
