Answer:  C.Tamiflu interferes with the release of the budding viruses from the infected host cells.

Explanation:

Tamiflu is commonly used as antiviral drugs because it blocks the function of viral neuraminidases of the influenza virus. Neuraminidase is a type of enzime  found on the surface of influenza viruses that enables the virus to be released from the host cell. In order to prevent viral infection the NA protein is exploited by Tamilfu which acts as sialic acid analogs and binds to the NA active site. These are called NA inhibitors. Tamiflu  disables the NA protein from cleaving sialic acid, leaving the virus trapped and  preventing its reproduction by budding from the host cell.
