"Aristotle," thought that everything was made from "earth", "air", "fire" and "water".

Option: D

Step-by-step explanation:

"Aristotle" was against to "Atomic theory" so he believed that all the things were made from earth, air, fire and water called "four classical elements". These are "four classical elements" responsible for creating all the things in "terrestrial spheres". "Aristotle" started believing that all many of the little substances were "made up" of these "four classical elements" earth, air, fire and water. But "Aristotle" views on "elements" went wrong. "Aristotle" also grasped that "heavens" are created by using "weightless" and "unchangeable" the "fifth element" called "Aether".
