The antiviral agent that inhibits neuraminidase in influenza viruses is B. oseltamivir. Oseltamivir is commonly known by its brand name, Tamiflu, and is used to treat and prevent influenza.
The other options are not specifically neuraminidase inhibitors:
- A. Acyclovir is primarily used to treat herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus.
- C. Zidovudine (AZT) is mainly used in the treatment of HIV.
- D. Ribavirin is used for various viral infections but does not target neuraminidase.
