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

Answer
A
Redi studied broth, but Pasteur tested meat.
B
Pasteur studied flies, but Redi tested meat.
C
Pasteur tested for microorganisms, but Redi studied larger organisms.
D
Redi tested for microorganisms, but Pasteur studied larger organisms.

Explanation

Redi placed meat in jars to test whether maggots came from flies or arose spontaneously, so he studied larger organisms. Pasteur used broth in swan-neck flasks to test whether microorganisms appeared without contamination from existing microbes. Therefore, Pasteur tested for microorganisms, while Redi studied larger organisms.
