Solution

The correct option is D

Influenza


Antibiotics treat a disease by blocking the biochemical pathway of the disease-causing microorganism. Influenza is a viral disease. Viruses do not have a biochemical machinery of their own. Hence, influenza cannot be treated with antibiotics. Antiviral medicines are used for the treatment of influenza.
