Why is it important to finish ALL of an antibiotic, even if you feel better?
A
If all of the infectious bacteria are not killed, the bacteria may continue to multiply. Some of these bacteria may have a mutation that makes them resistant to the antibiotic. This could cause resistant bacteria to spread.
B
If all of the antibiotic is not used, the surviving bacteria may learn how to fight off the antibiotic, causing the sickness to get even worse.
C
If all of the antibiotic is not used, the bacteria may begin ingesting your skin cells, causing a new sickness to arise.
D
If all of the antibiotic is not used, the surviving bacteria may cooperate with other infectious bacteria, resulting in two separate infections at the same time.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If you stop treatment before the antibiotic cycle is over, the remaining bacteria can continue to multiply. If these bacteria become resistant to the antibiotics, they can potentially do even more harm.

Detailed explanation-2: -You should only take antibiotics when they are needed because they can cause side effects and can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance happens when the bacteria change and become able to resist the effects of an antibiotic. This means that the bacteria continue to grow.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antibiotic resistance leads to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality. The world urgently needs to change the way it prescribes and uses antibiotics. Even if new medicines are developed, without behaviour change, antibiotic resistance will remain a major threat.

Detailed explanation-4: -If you fail to complete a course of antibiotics, some of the bacteria causing the infection may survive-and these will be the ones with the greatest resistance to the antibiotic.
