B. An insertion or deletion

Explicación

## Step 1A frameshift mutation is a type of mutation that occurs when the number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence is altered, which changes the way the sequence is read. This can happen due to an insertion or deletion of nucleotides.## Step 2An inversion is a type of mutation where a segment of DNA is reversed within the chromosome. This does not cause a frameshift mutation.## Step 3A silent mutation is a type of mutation where a change in the DNA sequence does not affect the protein sequence. This does not cause a frameshift mutation.## Step 4A substitution is a type of mutation where one nucleotide is replaced by another. This does not cause a frameshift mutation.
