Answer:

A. Viruses can be treated with antibiotics.

Step-by-step explanation:

For most viral infections, treatments can only help with symptoms while you wait for your immune system to fight off the virus. Antibiotics does not work for viral infections. There are antiviral medicines to treat some viral infections. Vaccines can help prevent you from getting many viral diseases.
