Answer: a
Explanation:
Antibiotics are strong medicines that treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics won’t treat viral infections because they can’t kill viruses.
Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to stop an antimicrobial (such as antibiotics, antivirals and antimalarials) from working against it.
Antibiotic resistance does not mean the body is becoming resistant to antibiotics; it is that bacteria have become resistant to the antibiotics designed to kill them.
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can be transmitted between humans and animals.
