Correct Answer: Streptomycin


Solution : The correct option is Stretomycin.

Streptomycin is an antibiotic that has historically proved successful against tuberculosis (TB). Streptomycin was one of the earliest antibiotics used to treat tuberculosis, and it played an important part in the disease's initial treatment. However, TB bacteria have gained resistance to streptomycin and other medicines throughout time. As a result, to boost effectiveness and limit the possibility of drug resistance, TB therapy frequently includes a combination of antibiotics such as isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide.
