Answer 1

Answer: (B)

World war II

Penicillin made a difference during the first half of the 20th century. Penicillin helped reduce the number of deaths and amputations of troops during World War II. It helped cure patients from Streptococcal septicemia or blood poisoning. According to records, there were only 400 million units of penicillin available during the first five months of 1943.

so, the correct answer is 'World war II'
