Question
To prevent the spread of any disease, it is necessary to administer medicines on time. A common fallacy among people is that medicine needs to be taken only till the symptoms go away.

So, it's always better to take medicines for a longer time period than prescribed so as to ensure that bacteria are completely eliminated.Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument?
- A Medicines have been developed against a wide range of bacteria.
- B Antibiotics do not work against viruses.
- C Overdosing of medicines can lead to bacteria getting resistant to that medicine.
- D Bacteria are the only disease-causing agents.
- E Doctors are always right in prescribing the dosage and duration of medicine.
In the given question, a premise is provided; choose the option that most weakens the argument.
