Hey there!

Sulfanilamide is the classification of the antibiotics that can target the bacteria that’s causing infections.


But the action of the mode of sulfanilamide is: binding of a specific enzyme which simply translates to inhibition of the cell wall


Thus, your answer is: inhibition of cell wall synthesis (Option B.)


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
