Correct answer: B.) The mold must be producing a chemical that killed the bacteria.

Antibiotics is an antimicrobial substance that is used against bacterial infection. They work to inhibit the growth of bacteria either by slowing the growth of bacteria or by killing them. They are not used against viral infections like common cold or flu.

Penicillin was first antibiotics that were discovered by Alexander Fleming while working in the lab with the mold <em>Penicillium notatum</em>
