Louis pasteur's research contributed to which of the following changes to life during the industrial revolution?
a. growth of the feminist movement
b. new laws banning child labor
c. new practices to fight disease
d. higher wages for industrial workers

The correct answer is C. Louis Pasteur's research contributed to new practices to fight disease.

Explanation:

Pasteur discovered that fermentation is caused by microorganisms. He also developed a vaccine against rabies, which led to the founding of the Pasteur Institute in Paris in 1888.

Pasteur rescued the French silkworm industry when he managed to identify two microbial diseases that killed so many silkworms that they were close to wiping out this industry in France. He also discovered the disease-producing organisms (pathogens) that cause anthrax and developed a vaccine against it.

Pasteur is considered one of the founders of bacteriology.
