C. "A" mentions that the drug killed all of the bacteria that are resistant to the drug, and that doesn't make any sense. "B" claims that all bacteria are resistant to the drug. This is not true. "D" mentions that bacteria eat the drug, which doesn't happen.

What is a limitation of using a chemical formula, such as C6H12O6, to represent a compound?
Kaylis [27]
The chemical formula does not show how the atoms are connected to one another.
When we write the chemical formula of any substance, we are not able to understand the spatial arrangement of that substance's atoms. This is extremely important in organic compounds, which exhibit different physical characteristics as well as different chemical characteristics due to the way their atoms are arranged in space. These isomers are known as enantiomers.
