The correct option is B
a) 1 only

Antibiotic resistance is when our bodies become resistant to antibiotics. With constant use of antibiotics, the bacteria present in our body becomes so strong that antibiotics soon fail to be effective.

This way people soon develop a resistance in them against the antibiotics. WHO has declared antibiotic resistance the biggest public threat currently.
