Solution
The correct option is A Bacteria
The antibiotics are substances produced by the natural metabolic processes of spore forming aerobic bacteria and fungi as their natural defense against other microorganisms. Among bacteria and fungi, bacterial genera outnumber the fungal genera in production of antibiotics. The highest numbers of antibiotics are derived from bacterial genera Streptomyces and Bacillus and fungal genera Penicillium and Cephalosporium. This makes option A correct. Viruses do not perform any metabolic activity outside the host and hence, do not produce any antimicrobial agents. Angiosperms are most developed flowering plants that have number of adaptation to make them less susceptible for competition for food and space; they do not produce antibiotics. Thus, the correct answer is option is A.
