Both this claim and its justification are true. Silent mutations are modifications to the DNA sequence without a corresponding alteration in the protein's amino acid composition. Some mutations in the DNA sequence might not affect the amino acid sequence of the protein because the genetic code is degenerate, meaning that more than one codon can represent the same amino acid. As a result, silent mutations are frequently referred to as neutral mutations since they have no effect on the phenotypic of the organism and do not alter the structure or function of the protein. Consequently, the claim is accurate.

Option d is the correct answer.
