Solution

The correct option is A Translation
Tetracycline antibiotics are the protein inhibitors that inhibiting the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex and prevents the translation (protein synthesis) as activated aminoacyl-tRNA bring amino acid in the mRNA-ribosome complex.
So, the correct answer is option A.
