How should we generally go about this one?
I avoided C because very close to definition, which is generally incorrect. Is this just an instance of test makers using that knowledge?

Hi etsevdos,
Yes, they tried to throw us for a loop there, didn't they? It's also to be found in the very sentence they are referring to so contextually it works well as an answer choice too.
Thanks for the great question and I hope this helps!

Can someone point out the text evidence that would indicate "imperfect copying" is applicable here?
Thanks!

Hi katesomerville!
Textual evidence for answer choice (C) can be found around lines 24 to 27: "The most common type of mutation is a sort of genetic 'typo' that occurs when a cell’s DNA is transcribed into RNA, the molecule that helps to assemble proteins." The "DNA is transcribed into RNA" is the copying part, and that it is a mutation or typo is the imperfect part.
