I think the answer is A Because i remember taking this test and yea...thats my answer 20/10

Answer: The correct answer is-

D. The information in the region is read differently during transcription.

Inversion is a type of mutation ( that is permanent change in the genetic material of living organism) that occurs after break in a chromosome, which is followed by the rearrangement of the broken segment.

In other words, when a segment of chromosome is broken and reversed/rearranged within itself, it is called inversion.

It leads to change in the DNA sequence, due to which information in the region ( that is genetic information present in the form of nucleotide sequences)  is read differently during transcription ( conversion of DNA to mRNA).

Thus, option D) is the right answer.
