Best answer
The correct answer is (c) Instructions by DNA

For explanation: Bacteria uses instructions from there DNA that leads to the development of resistance mechanisms in them. In bacteria, the resistance genes are found within plasmids, small pieces of DNA that carry genetic instructions. Bacteria doesn’t develop resistance mechanisms by extracellular ligands, Integral proteins or Intercellular ligands.
