The answer would be frameshift mutation.

The frameshift mutation happens when insertion or deletion of a number of nucleotides that is not multiple of 3. The result will definitely cause a problem in the reading sequence.

In this case, there are insertions of two nucleotides and two is not multiple of 3.
