Suppose that a proponent of the spontaneous generation hypothesis claimed that cells would appear in Pasteur's swan-necked flask eventually. According to this view, Pasteur did not allow enough time to pass before concluding that life does not originate spontaneously. Which of the following is the best response?
A) Both the all-cells-from-cells hypothesis and the spontaneous generation hypothesis could be correct.
B) If spontaneous generation did not occur after weeks or months, it is not reasonable to claim that it would occur later.
C) If spontaneous generation happens only rarely, it is not important.
D) The spontaneous generation proponent is correct: Spontaneous generation would probably happen eventually.
