Solution

The correct option is A resistance in bacteria against that antibiotic
Antibiotics are chemicals that can kill or retard the growth of other harmful microbes. If the disease causing bacteria is exposed to excess, unnecessary or incomplete dosage of antibiotic, then the surviving population of pathogens may begin to develop resistance against the antibiotic.
