The most accurate response to the substitution of a cytosine base for a thymine base in a DNA segment during DNA replication is:
The sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation.
This substitution could potentially lead to a change in the mRNA sequence, which may result in the incorporation of a different amino acid during protein synthesis if it alters the codon read during translation.
