Which choice best summarizes the outcome of Redi’s experiment?

Redi placed meat in jars, leaving some open and covering others so flies could not reach the meat. Maggots appeared where flies could lay eggs, but not on meat protected from flies. This showed that maggots came from flies rather than appearing spontaneously, so the best summary is that Redi disproved spontaneous generation.
