Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Robert Koch is famous for developing postulates, staining techniques, discovering the bacterium causing tuberculosis, and contributing to proving the Germ Theory of Disease. However, the use of phenol/carbolic acid for antiseptic surgery was a major contribution of Joseph Lister, not Robert Koch.
