D, if it's undetected, than the cell can't fix it and it'll stay there forever.

Mutation happens in gene, and even though proteins are made from those genes, it can't be "substituted with it". The structures of the genetic materials and the protein is WAY different. It's like gene is a recipe for cake, and the protein is the cake itself (you can't substitute the cake in a somehow fix the recipe)
