Antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis ultimately cause bacterial cell death as a result of osmotic lysis. The correct option is b.

What are Antibiotics?

Antibiotics are medicines that are made of chemicals and bacteria. They kill the bacteria by attacking their cell wall, they stop the growth of the bacteria.

Bacteria are microorganism that is present in all environments and inside the living organism too. They also harm the organism by attacking the immune system of the body.

Osmotic lysis is a condition when the cell wall bursts out due to great osmotic pressure from the outside environment. Antibiotics cause osmotic lysis, which causes the bacteria cells to open up and eventually degrade.

Thus, the correct option is b. osmotic lysis.
