Solution
The correct option is A Betalactamase
S. aureus is a bacterium that produces beta-lactamase enzyme. This enzyme cleaves the beta-lactam group in antibiotics, such as penicillin, that has a beta-lactam ring in its structure. Thus the bacterium becomes resistant to that antibiotic by inactivating its beta-lactam ring. Thus the correct answer is option A.
