Solution

The correct option is A Streptomycin
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1952 was awarded to Selman A. Waksman "for his discovery of streptomycin, the first antibiotic effective against tuberculosis". This distinction earned him the title of “Father of Antibiotics” and gained him well deserved recognition for his philanthropy and contributions to science and medicine.
