The statement that describes Redi’s experiment, which helped disprove spontaneous generation, is:

He examined covered and uncovered meat to determine that maggots came from eggs.

In his experiment, Francesco Redi placed meat in both covered and uncovered jars. The covered jars did not produce maggots, while the uncovered jars did, leading him to conclude that maggots came from eggs laid by flies, not from spontaneous generation.
