Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Louis Pasteur's experiments using swan-necked flasks disproved the concept of spontaneous generation, which hypothesized that organisms could arise from non-living matter. This led to the development of the theory of biogenesis, which states that living organisms can only arise from other living organisms. The concept of aseptic techniques involves preventing the introduction of microbes into a sterile environment, and Pasteur's work was instrumental in advancing this field. However, aseptic theory is not a recognized scientific concept. Therefore, the correct answer is B) spontaneous generation.
