The correct option is Option 1) Succinic dehydrogenase.

Melonate inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria by specifically inhibiting the activity of succinic dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle). By inhibiting this enzyme, melonate disrupts the energy production process in bacteria, leading to their growth inhibition.
