Answer:

D) Colds are caused by viruses

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it's D because bacteria are indeed killed by antibiotics so it couldn't be A, antibiotics treat illnesses all the time so it couldn't be B, colds are not caused by antibiotics they're caused by viruses so it would have to be D.
