The Mechanism Behind Slipped-Strand Mispairing Is That

The mechanism behind slipped-strand mispairing is that

A) short repeats allow for slippage of the RNA polymerase during transcription of the affected genes.
B) short repeats allow for slippage of DNA polymerase during replication, which leads to an out-of-frame reading sequence.
C) an invertible promoter slips into different reading frames.
D) the genes coding for lipopolysaccharide in Gram-negative bacteria can be slipped in and out of frame.
