Question
Who proposed the Germ Theory of Disease?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
While Robert Koch provided experimental proof for the Germ Theory of Disease with his postulates, Louis Pasteur is credited with definitively disproving spontaneous generation and demonstrating that microorganisms cause fermentation and disease, thus laying the foundational work and proposing the Germ Theory of Disease.
Hint
Think about the scientist who famously used swan-neck flasks to show that microbes come from pre-existing microbes, not spontaneous generation, which was a crucial step towards the Germ Theory.
