Question

5. Which did not result from acceptance of the germ theory?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is increased death rate

Explanation:

Germ theory can be described as a scientific theory which depicts that microorganisms are the cause for many diseases which occur in humans, animals and plants. These microorganisms are known as pathogens or germs.

The formation of the germ theory led scientists to understand the pathogens involved in causing many diseases and hence scientists brought forward methods to kill the pathogens causing these diseases. Hence, the death rate did not increase after the germ theory.
