Question

Explanation:

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic. A common adverse effect of antibiotics like amoxicillin is disruption of the normal intestinal flora, leading to diarrhea. Hearing loss is more associated with medications like aminoglycosides. Bruising relates to bleeding disorders or medications affecting coagulation, not amoxicillin. Tendonitis is associated with fluoroquinolones, not amoxicillin.

Answer:

B. Diarrhea
