c. silent mutation
silent mutations do not change the amino acid that is translated, since the change in the single nucleotide will create a codon that still encodes for the SAME amino acid.
"antibiotic resistance" is not the important part you should pay attention to. It could say "red bees", "giant elephants" or "smart people" for all that matters...focus on the word "mutation" if you know the different types of mutations, you will know that a silent mutation is not harmful, while the other ones listed CAN be.
