Option 3) Common cold is not cured by antibiotics because it is caused by a virus.

The common cold is primarily caused by viral infections, most commonly by rhinoviruses. Antibiotics are designed to target and kill bacteria, not viruses. Since the common cold is caused by a viral infection, antibiotics are not effective in treating it. Antibiotics are only useful against bacterial infections.
