Solution

The correct option is A Hans Lippershey
The first telescope was made by Hans Lippershey in the early 1600s. He was a German-Dutch glassmaker, and he managed to reduce the amount of light in his telescope while focusing it. His model inspired other scientists to work on perfecting the telescope.
