Which is a point mutation and not a frameshift mutation?

A silent mutation is a point mutation: a change in one nucleotide that does not alter the amino acid encoded. Insertions and deletions can shift the reading frame when the number of nucleotides added or removed is not a multiple of three, so they may be frameshift mutations. A mutagen is an agent that causes mutations, not a type of mutation.
