Answer 1

The correct option is B) Flies were not found in the sealed jars of rotting meat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Redi discarded the phenomenon or hypothesis for spontaneous generation through his experiments. The hypothesis of spontaneous generation supported that live could originate from non-living things.

Through his experiments, he proved that only flies could give rise to other flies. He did experiments by keeping meat pieces in a sealed and in an open jar. The absences of the flies in the sealed jar proved that meat could not give rise to flies and only flies gave rise to other flies.
