Answer #1

Exotoxins are toxins that are secreted by bacteria into the surroundings. These exotoxins are virulence factors produced by bacteria in order to damage the host and theyare not required for the growth of bacteria. So, antibiotics that target exotoxins would not likely be effective for inhibiting bacterial growth on agar plates. Antibiotics that target protein synthesis, cell wall synthesis, DNA/RNA synthesis inhibit the growth of bacteria on agar plates. So, the correct option is option A, Exotoxins.
