During the past decade, doctors have noted the appearance of several super bugs, which are bacteria that show multiple resistances to hand sanitizer. The development of these super bugs has been linked to the overuse of hand sanitizer. Which of the following is the best explanation for the increase in the appearance of these super bugs?

The best explanation I can think of is that the bugs are adapting and are building up immunity to hand sanitizer which is common in almost all species of life.
