Answer: D is correct.

Explanation: very simple example ... Galileo observed celestial bodies that circulate around other celectial bodies (until then people were convinced that all the celestial bodies run around the Sun). In this particular case Galileo observed (one of) Jupiter's natural satellites. It was a novelty, revolutionary finding.

Most personalities in Galileo's time understood that the Earth was the middle of the cosmos and that the Sun and planets revolve encompassing it. Galileo first realized that the Moon had craters just like Earth.
