In order for a genetic mutation in a species to result in the information of a new species occur

Google research:

Mutations in these genes can produce newor altered traits, resulting in heritable differences (genetic variation) between organisms. ... Evolution occurs when these heritable differences become more common or rare in a population, either non-randomly through natural selection or randomly through genetic drift

For mutations to affect an organism's descendants, they must: 1) occur in cells that produce the next generation, and 2) affect the hereditary material. Ultimately, the interplay between inherited mutations and environmental pressures generates diversity among species.

The answer is going to be a because ik that i’m right
