Doxorubicin is a chemotherapy drug, so it's got to be inhibiting something important for cancer cells. I'm going with A - inhibits topoisomerase II. Sounds like the right mechanism to me.

I'm not sure, but I think the correct answer is A) Inhibits topoisomerase II based on what I've studied.

I agree with Jenelle, because doxorubicin is known to inhibit topoisomerase II which leads to DNA damage.
