Solution

The correct option is D Joseph Lister
Joseph Lister is considered to be the father of modern antisepsis. In 1866, he introduced carbolic acid as an antiseptic, to kill airborne bacteria and prevent their transmission into wounds from the air of the operating theater. Lister developed an antiseptic spray which was used in operating theaters during surgery to keep the wound clean.
