Answer:

Your question is very poorly written, but nevertheless I can help you about bacterial resistance ... I think the most correct is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Bacterial resistance is based on the fact that the bacterium acquires mechanisms to survive against the action of the drug, such as bacteria that are insulin resistant (because of this, an inhibitor was promoted against this resistance, which is clavulanic acid)
