Answer 1

Hey there :)

Option TRUE will be the answer.

The environment contributes to determining whether a mutation is advantageous, deleterious, or neutral. Also, the environment or selective pressure determines whether a mutation is beneficial or dangerous.

Usually mutuations are harmless, but in the rarest cases, it can even destroy or affect the whole world.
