999 bases in RNA codes for a protein with 333 amino acids correct that is 
900 + 99 bases or you can say  900 + 901 + 902 and so on.....   and 300 + 33 codons.. 
 If base at 901 position is deleted then first 900 bases will be normal while bases  after 901th base will be altered that is 99 bases will be altered. 
3 bases stand for 1 codon, that is 99 bases are coded by 33 codons will be altered due to the deletion of one base at 901 position.

Hence, the correct answer is (c).
