Solution

The correct option is C Pasteur
  • Rabies is a viral disease caused by the rabies virus that causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals. Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure.
  • Virtually all infections with rabies resulted in death until two French scientists, Louis Pasteur and Émile Roux, developed the first rabies vaccination in 1885.
  • Hence vaccine against rabies was first developed by Pasteur.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Pasteur'.
