Insertion and deletion result in a frameshift mutation. Frameshift mutations caused by "indel" mutations, meaning insertion or deletion mutations. These mutations shift the way the DNA is read. A frameshift mutation can throw off all of the nucleotide that follow in a DNA sequence, making them particularly likely to lead to significant consequences. 

Insertion and deletion cause a frameshift mutation. Frameshift mutations are caused by mutations, from insertion or deletion mutations. These mutations shift the way the DNA is read.

What causes a frameshift mutation?

Frameshift mutations occur when the usual sequence of codons is disrupted by the insertion or deletion of one or more nucleotides, fed that the number of nucleotides added or deducted is not a many of three.

Thus option "A and B" is correct, whereas point mutation will not cause frameshift mutation.
