B
Correct answer
Explanation
Penicillin is an antibiotic obtained from the fungus ‘Penicillium notatum’ and it works against bacteria. Quinine and chloroquine are drugs which are used to treat malaria. Anti-Tetanus Serum (ATS) is a vaccine used to prevent tetanus. None of these is obtained from fungus and hence, they are not antibiotics.
