Solution
The correct option is C Cholera
Antibiotics are the chemical substance produced by an organism that can inhibit the growth or kill the organism. It mainly produced by the fungi and some bacteria. Such chemicals are mainly effective against the bacteria due to cell wall components (peptidoglycan) of bacteria such as Vibrio cholerae that causes cholera. Whereas AIDS, Hepatitis- B and dengue ferver are the viral disease which does not have a cell wall and thus peptidoglycan is absent and antibiotics are not effective. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
