Answer»

Correct answer is (b) False

The best I can explain: No, CHANGE in more than one NUCLEOTIDE pair is not called a spontaneous mutation, INSTEAD it is known as gross mutation. When gene mutations OCCUR naturally and automatically DUE to any internal reasons, then it is called as spontaneous mutations.
