Question: Which of the following will increase the development of antibiotic resistance?

Option 1: Improperly taking a vitamin
- This option is not related to antibiotic use. Vitamins do not directly drive or select for antibiotic resistance, so this statement is incorrect.

Option 2: Not finishing your antibiotic prescription
- When a course is stopped early, some bacteria may survive and have the chance to recover and adapt. This incomplete exposure can select for resistant strains, making this a valid contributor to resistance.

Option 3: Taking an antibiotic for an extended period of time
- Prolonged antibiotic exposure applies selective pressure on bacteria, increasing the likelihood that resistant individuals survive and proliferate. This is another legitimate mechanism promoting resistance.

Option 4: Both answers 2 and 3
- Since both not finishing the prescription and extended-duration use promote resistance through similar selective-pressure mechanisms, the combination of these two factors represents the overall risk more comprehensively. Recognizing that both 2 and 3 contribute helps avoid overlooking one contributing behavior.

Summary of reasoning across options: Option 1 is unrelated to resistance development and therefore incorrect. Options 2 and 3 each describe a practice that can foster resistance by allowing surviving bacteria to adapt under antibiotic pressure. Option 4 correctly acknowledges that the combination of 2 and 3 captures the full scope of behaviors that increase resistance.
