Solution
The correct option is B Aristotle
The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 BC) was one of the earliest recorded scholars to articulate the theory of spontaneous generation. It was considered as a notion that life can arise from nonliving matter. Aristotle proposed that life arose from nonliving material if the material contained pneuma (“vital heat”). This theory persisted into the seventeenth century, when scientists undertook additional experimentation to support or disprove it. So the correct option is 'Aristotle'.
