Nystatin, definitely Nystatin. I remember learning about that in my pharmacology class. The other options are just not relevant to the question.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'm pretty sure the antifungal agent is Nystatin, but I want to double-check the other options just to be sure.

I'm not sure, but I think Nystatin makes sense because it's commonly used to treat fungal infections.
