    Option C

    Explanation:

    Base excision repair involves, the detection, removal and replacement of incorrect base in a nucleotide on one strand while using the other undamaged strand as template for the correction. It involves the DNA glycosylases that aids in detection. Repair can be done in two pathways: long patch panther

    Short patch panther

    It corrects base lesions that arise due to alkylation, depurination/depyrimidation, deamination etc
