Vedclass · Answer

(D) Sulfa drugs,also known as sulfonamides,are a group of synthetic antimicrobial agents that contain the sulfonamide group. They are structural analogues of $p$-aminobenzoic acid $(PABA)$. Because of this structural similarity,they interfere with the metabolic processes of bacteria that require $PABA$ for the synthesis of folic acid. Therefore,sulfa drugs are considered derivatives of $p$-aminobenzoic acid.
