Arteether, a drug to cure malaria is obtained from a

seed plant
fungus
Bacterium
moss

The correct answer is (a) seed plant.

Arteether is a drug used to treat malaria. It is a semisynthetic derivative of artemisinin, a compound extracted from the sweet wormwood plant (Artemisia annua). Artemisinin is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for centuries to treat malaria. It was first isolated in 1972 by Chinese scientists, and it was approved for use in the United States in 1997.

Arteether is effective against all four types of malaria parasites that infect humans. It is given by injection, and it is usually used in combination with other antimalarial drugs. Arteether is generally well tolerated, but it can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Fungi, bacteria, and mosses are not sources of arteether.
