Spontaneous generation theory proposed that the microorganisms arose from non living things. This has hampered the further development of microbiology. Germ theory of disease was established and proved by Robert Koch. The germ theory of disease stated that each disease is caused by a specific causative agent and this concept triggered the development of microbiology as a science.
Option (d) is correct.
Living beings are generated from non living matter is the concept explained in spontaneous generation theory which hampered the development of microbiology.
The option (a) is correct.
Use of disinfectants was extensively studied after the development of microbiology.
Option (b) is incorrect.
Study of cause of disease and its prevention had lead to the development of new area of science called immunology, a part of microbiology. It was established through the development of vaccination.
The option (c) is incorrect.
Development of microscope was the initial phase in the development of microbiology but it was completely established by the widely accepted germ theory of disease.
Option (e) is incorrect.
