Solution

The correct option is C side effects in the body
Antibiotics are chemicals that kill bacteria or slow down their growth. Antibiotics work against harmful and useful bacteria. Excess or repetitive dosage of antibiotics deprives our gut of useful microbes. Moreover, it gradually makes harmful bacteria resistant to a particular antibiotic. Poor gut balance leads to nausea, stomach ache, dysentery etc.
