● Option (B): Option (B) is also wrong because antifungal agents don't act by inhibiting fungal cell wall synthesis as they directly destroys cell membrane of the fungus.

● Option (D): Option (D) is also incorrect because antifungal agents don't act by interfering with nucleic acid synthesis as they act by destroying fungal cell membrane.
