Explanation

Louis Pasteur is credited with establishing the germ theory of disease in the 1860s, demonstrating that microorganisms cause disease and fermentation. His experiments disproved spontaneous generation and laid foundations for modern microbiology and sterilization practices. Darwin proposed evolution by natural selection, Hooke discovered cells, and Edwards is not associated with germ theory.
