Answer:

D.Antibiotics cannot treat illnesses.

Explanation:

What is an antibiotic?

Antibiotics are medicines that fight infections caused by bacteria in humans and animals by either killing the bacteria or making it difficult for the bacteria to grow and multiply.

Bacteria are germs. They live in the environment and all over the inside and outside of our bodies. Most bacteria are harmless and even helpful to people, but some can cause infections, like strep throat.

What DO antibiotics treat?

Antibiotics ONLY treat certain infections caused by bacteria, such as

Strep throat

Whooping cough

Urinary tract infection (UTI)

Antibiotics are also needed to treat life-threatening conditions caused by bacteria, such as sepsis, which is the body’s extreme response to infection.

What DON’T antibiotics treat?

Antibiotics DO NOT work on viruses, such as those that cause:

Colds and runny noses, even if the mucus is thick, yellow, or green

Most sore throats (except strep throat)

Flu

Most cases of chest colds (bronchitis)

Antibiotics also ARE NOT needed for some common bacterial infections, including:

Many sinus infections

Some ear infections

Use process of elimination. From what you gave me to read, you can cross off competition. A drought killed the plants and not competition to live. Go down the list of words and look up the definition. Look at nudation and ecesis later because they are different words that may or may not be challenging to understand. You know what reaction and migration is without looking it up. Once you cross off all words answers that don't match up, ask yourself, which remaining answer goes? Nudation is basically new plants that have successfully started growing after a huge environmental change. Ecesis is sort of similar however, the establishment in a new habitat or environment is not from a big change. Therefore, nudation is the correct answer.
