Answer is B. Ans.e.B., Inhibit cell wall synthesisAntifungal drugs act by -Altering membrane permeability > polyenes, Azoles, Allylamines.Interferes with mitosis (disrupts microtubules) > Griseofulvin.Inhibit cell wall synthesis > Caspofungin, Nikkomycrn.Inhibit nucleic acid synthesis (inhibit thYmidylate synthase) > Flucytosine (5_FC).
