Answer: option c => tetracycline

Explanation:

Tetracycline works by binding specifically to the 30S ribosome of the bacteria, preventing attachment of the aminoacyl tRNA to the RNA-ribosome complex. It simultaneously inhibits other steps of the protein biosynthesis. ... This does not directly kill the bacteria but instead inhibit it.

Answer:

C The result is a very fragile cell wall that bursts, killing the bacterium. ... Another kind of antibiotic--tetracycline--also inhibits bacterial growth by stopping protein synthesis. Both bacteria and humans carry out protein synthesis on structures called ribosomes.
