The correct answer is:

Francesco Redi.

Spontaneous Generation theory stated that living organisms could be spontaneously generated from non-living matter. Francesco Redi conducted an experiment similar to the one Louis Pasteur would do nearly 200 years later. The 17th-century Italian developed a spontaneous generation experiment that showed that maggots do not spontaneously emerge from decaying meat.
