Which of the following drugs are not matched correctly with their mode of action?

A) Flucytosine: targets fungal DNA replication by blocking transcription when it is converted to a nucleic acid analog that blocks DNA and RNA synthesis B) polyenes: directly interacts with ergosterols which causes targeted plasma membranes to become leaky and leads to cell lysis C) allyamines: inhibits enzymes that build ergosterol which leads to improperly built plasma membranes and fungal cell lysis D) azoles: inhibits ribosome function by entering ribosome as a tRNA, covalently binding to mRNA, and forcing the destruction of the complex E) echinocandin drugs: inhibits fungal cell wall synthesis by targeting an enzyme that makes a component of the fungal cell wall
