It is A, I just took this test and got a 100. Hope it helps!

The right option is; A) sex cell

A mutation in sex cell can be passed along from parent to child.

Mutation is a permanent change that occurs in the DNA sequence as a result of environmental factors such as UV light or errors during DNA replication. The mutation that occurs in sex cells (egg or sperm cells) is known as germinal mutation, and is the only mutation that can be passed from parent to offspring. This type of mutation affects the offspring of the individual in which the reproductive cells is mutated, and also the subsequent generation of the offspring.

desert perennials often survive by remaining dormant during dry periods of the year, then springing to life when water becomes available. most annual desert plants germinate only after heavy seasonal rain, then complete their reproductive cycle very quickly.

c.           is the correct answer
