The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the incorrect pair among the given options, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the First Option: Lewis-Pasteur** - Louis Pasteur is known for developing the first vaccine, which was against rabies, a viral infection. - However, the term "virus" was not coined by Pasteur; it was actually coined by Dmitri Ivanovsky. - Therefore, the pairing of Louis Pasteur with the term "virus" is incorrect. 2. **Identify the Second Option: Beijerinck** - Martinus Beijerinck is credited with coining the term "Contagium Vivum Fluidium," which refers to the infectious agents that are liquid in nature, specifically viruses. - He is also known for his work on the tobacco mosaic virus. - This pairing is correct as Beijerinck did associate this term with viruses. 3. **Identify the Third Option: Iwanowski** - Dmitri Ivanovsky studied the tobacco mosaic disease and identified that the causative agent was a virus. - He recognized the microbes causing the disease in tobacco plants, which were indeed the tobacco mosaic virus. - This pairing is correct. 4. **Identify the Fourth Option: Stanley** - Wendell Stanley was the first to crystallize a virus, specifically the tobacco mosaic virus. - This pairing is also correct as Stanley's work involved the crystallization of the virus. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all the options, we find that the first option (Lewis-Pasteur) is the incorrect pair because Pasteur did not coin the term "virus." ### Final Answer: **The incorrect pair is: Lewis-Pasteur.** ---
