The answer is the second one (b): narrow spectrum.

Explanation:

  • a. Broad spectrum: This refers to antibiotics that are effective against a wide range of bacteria, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative. Therefore, this option is incorrect for antibiotics effective against a single organism or disease.
  • b. Narrow spectrum: This refers to antibiotics that are effective against a specific type of bacteria or a limited group of organisms. This is the correct option for antibiotics that target a single organism or disease.
  • c. Limited spectrum: While this term might seem similar to narrow spectrum, it is not commonly used in the context of antibiotics. The correct term for antibiotics effective against a single organism is "narrow spectrum."

In summary, narrow spectrum antibiotics are designed to target specific bacteria, making them effective against a single organism or disease.
