Question

- 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.
