His “postulates” disproved the thought of spontaneous generation. He experimented with fruit flies in jars first.
A
Robert Koch
B
Joseph Lister
C
Edward Jenner
D
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to the theory of spontaneous generation, living organisms can arise from non-living matter. Louis Pasteur disproved this theory and was awarded for the same.

Detailed explanation-2: -Still, it has been little more than a century and a half since Robert Koch made the discoveries that led Louis Pasteur to describe how small organisms called germs could invade the body and cause disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -Louis Pasteur’s 1859 experiment is widely seen as having settled the question of spontaneous generation. He boiled a meat broth in a swan neck flask; the bend in the neck of the flask prevented falling particles from reaching the broth, while still allowing the free flow of air.

Detailed explanation-4: -By sterilizing cultures and keeping them isolated from the open air, Pasteur found that contamination of the media only occurred upon exposure to the outside environment, showing that some element was needed to give rise to life. In other words, life does not arise spontaneously.
