A Correct answer

This option is correct because β-lactam antibiotics (beta-lactam antibiotics) is a broad class of antibiotics, which contains a β-lactam ring in their molecular structures. But terramycin has no β-lactam ring in their molecular structures so this antibiotic is not a β-lactam antibiotic.
