Answer:

Azidothymidine

Explanation:

Azidothymidine (AZT) is one of the nucleoside analogs that is used in the treatment of AIDS as it inhibits the process of reverse transcription of HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus).

The HIV replicates by making DNA copies of RNA through the process of reverse transcription. The process is driven by enzyme reverse transcriptase. Azidothymidine (AZT) serves to inhibit the activity of reverse transcriptase enzyme and thereby does not allow HIV to reproduce.

In bacteria, peptidoglycan contains N acetyl muramic acid and N acetyl glucosamine unit but in archaea, the N acetyl muramic unit is replaced by some other unit and the linkage of two units is also different in archaea. So the right answer is A.
