Which statement correctly matches a chemotherapeutic drug with the specific cell cycle process it targets?
A.  	Taxol binds to a cell's microtubules and causes the cell’s chromosomes to separate during anaphase.
B.  	Trastuzumab promotes growth factors and keeps a cell from entering G0.
C.  	Methotrexate can bind to DNA and disrupt DNA replication.
