Solution

The correct option is D Aristotle
Aristotle was of the viewpoint that each space body moved in a small circle (an epicycle) that was itself orbiting Earth. This explained why planets sometimes appeared to travel backwards in the sky. The Earth-centered view of the universe was widely accepted for about 1500 years.
