Answer:

C.] A—C—T—G—C—G—A—T

Step-by-step explanation:

In option A the last base is substituted with U, thus this is a substitution, not an insertion.

In option B the fourth base G is not present. There is one less base, thus this is a deletion, not an insertion.

In option D the base sequence is the same as the normal nucleotide sequence.
