Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Antibiotics disrupt bacterial processes. 'Pain relief,' is correct as the exception, not an antibiotic mechanism, per pharmacology (e.g., Walsh). 'Cell wall synthesis inhibition,' (e.g., penicillin) weakens bacteria. 'Protein synthesis inhibition,' (e.g., tetracycline) halts growth. 'Nucleic acid synthesis inhibition,' (e.g., quinolones) stops replication. Pain relief's irrelevance makes D the precise answer.
