How were Redi’s and Pasteur’s experiments similar?

Answer
A
Both studied the growth of microbes in broth.
B
Both studied flies emerging from meat.
C
Both tested the idea of spontaneous generation.
D
Both tested whether pasteurization kills microorganisms.

Explanation

Both experiments tested the idea of spontaneous generation—the claim that living things can arise from nonliving matter. Redi studied whether flies came from meat, while Pasteur studied whether microorganisms appeared in broth, so they used different materials to investigate the same idea.
