A

Changes one codon for an amino acid into another codon for that same amino acid

B

Codon for one amino acid is changed into a codon of another amino acid

C

Reading frame changes downstream to the mutation site

D

Codon for one amino acid is changed into a translation termination codon

High-Yield Explanation

Reading frame changes downstream to the mutation site occurs in frameshift mutations but not in base substitution mutations. Ref: Harper Illustrated Biochemistry, 26th Edition, Chapter 38, Pages 361-64
