Which consequence results when antibiotics disrupt gut microbiomes in rabbits less than three months old?

A)Enhanced fiber digestion and cecotrophy
B)Increased resistance to bacterial infections
C)Lethal intestinal bacterial overgrowth occurs
D)Enhanced vitamin synthesis by gut bacteria

Antibiotics disrupt gut microbiomes, creating conditions for *dysbiosis* because depletion of beneficial bacteria is common causing an overgrowth of pathogens such as *Clostridium*, therefore lethal enterotoxemia results in young rabbits rather than increased fiber digestion.
