Solution

The correct option is B Meat was not spoiled, when heated and kept sealed in a vessel
The meat was not spoiled, when heated and kept sealed in a vessel suggests that simplest living organisms could not have originated spontaneously from non-living matter.
Microbes were killed by heating the meat and the sealed vessel formed a closed system wherein the new microbes could not come in contact with the nutrient medium and hence no spoilage of meat.
