The correct response that supports the theory of spontaneous generation is:
A. Maggots appearing on rotten meat.
Historically, the appearance of maggots on rotting meat was interpreted as evidence that life could spontaneously arise from non-living matter. This idea was eventually disproven through scientific experiments, such as the swan-neck flask experiment conducted by Louis Pasteur.
