Solution

The correct option is D Cell wall synthesis
Most bacteria produce a cell wall composed of peptidoglycan. Human cells do not make peptidoglycan. Penicillin, one of the first antibiotics, prevents the final cross-linking step or transpeptidation, in the assembly of peptidoglycan.
So, the correct answer is option C.
