The correct answer would be that Tetracycline inhibits protein synthesis. Tetracycline is an antibiotic that is used to treat a wide variety of bacteria infections, including skin infections, infections of intestines, respiratory tract, urinary tract, genitals and other body parts. Tetracycline acts by inhibiting protein synthesis by inhibiting the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex.
