As we have already discussed in types of Mutations -

Nonsense Mutation:

  • Mutations in which the codon for one amino acid is replaced by a translation termination (stop) codon are referred to as nonsense mutations. 
  • In nonsense mutation a stop codon replaces an amino acid codon, resulting in premature termination of the nucleotide chain.

 Hence, the correct option is (b).
