a) they are effective in fighting viral infections such as influenza and covid - 19.
b) they work by stimulating fever.
c) they work by stimulating the bodys development of antibodies.
d) they can kill both pathogenic and beneficial bacteria in the body.

Explanation:

Antibiotics target bacteria. They can't fight viral infections (so A is wrong). They don't work by stimulating fever (B is wrong). Vaccines stimulate antibody production, not antibiotics (C is wrong). Antibiotics can kill both harmful (pathogenic) and helpful (beneficial) bacteria.

Answer:

D. They can kill both pathogenic and beneficial bacteria in the body.
