Answer:
The answer is option A
Explanation:
The use of antibacterial drugs can cause modifications in the genetic material of the concerned bacteria. If the genetic material of the bacteria is modified, that means they have undergone mutation. Because the base sequence of the normal and that of the mutated gene is different, antibiotics will not be able to recognize the bacteria again and thus will not be able to attack it.
