The correct statement is:

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

Neutral mutations are generally defined as changes in the DNA that do not affect an organism's fitness or characteristics, often because the change does not alter the function of a protein or occurs in a non-coding region of DNA.
