Answer 1

The correct option is B

Increases the number of pathogens before it begins its action.

An antibiotic is a type of medicine that actively works against bacteria. It is the most important type of antibacterial agent for fighting bacterial infections. Antibiotic medications are widely used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections. They either kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. Although very useful, sometimes they are known to reduce the quantity of some vitamins in the body. Regular use may also enable bacteria to develop immunity against them.
