For option D

Antibiotics work mainly against bacteria, they are non-effective against viruses because they are acellular.

Answer 5

Whenever we have to treat any disease or any condition which progresses rapidly and the body do not have antibodies against its pathogenic antigens the best and quickest way is to inject them with already performed antibodies. For example to treat a person with snake bite or whenever a person gets a deep cut we give them a performed antibodies against tetanus antigens to prevent disease like tetanus. Similar treatment is done for rabies.

FYI: Cause of rabies is a virus named as Rabdo virus or simply Rabies virus.
