A patient is prescribed ciprofloxacin for a bacterial infection. The mechanism of action of ciprofloxacin involves the inhibition of which bacterial enzymes?

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that targets bacterial DNA replication. It specifically inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV, preventing DNA unwinding, replication, and repair, leading to bacterial cell death.
