D Correct answer
Explanation

A mutation is a permanent change in an organism's DNA. This is the definition - mutations alter the genetic sequence and can be inherited. Gene therapy is a treatment, recombinant DNA is engineered DNA, and genetic engineering is the process - only mutation refers to the permanent change itself. Note: minor typo in 'organisms' should be 'organism's'.
