The work by people such as Nicolaus Copernicus, Andreas Vesalius, and William Harvey in the Scientific Revolution was made possible by advances during the

a) Renaissance
b) Enlightenment
c) Age of exploration
d) Protestant Reformation

Answer 1

a) Renaissance

Step-by-step explanation:

The Scientific Renaissance was a period of development of science (astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, anatomy, etc.) that occurred during the Renaissance period (15th and 16th centuries). Thus, it represented a scientific revolution based on rationalism, which changed the way of seeing the world, that is, the mentality of people.

Thus, from the studies and discoveries of some scientists, this period allowed the advance of various fields of knowledge that would later inaugurate Modern Science. Note that the Renaissance were concerned with the study of nature, so that they valued reason rather than faith.

Although Leonardo da Vinci was one of the most important names in the Cultural and Artistic Renaissance, he was featured in the Scientific Renaissance alongside Nicolaus Copernicus, Andreas Vesalius and William Harvey.
