Answer: The correct option is option(B).

Step-by-step explanation:

Telescopes which are used today are majorly different from the telescopes back in 1600.

With period of time. series of modification took place in an elementary design of a telescope which resulted in telescope we are using today which are controlled by computers and sensors so as to get precise picture of the distant objects.

Hence, the correct answer is option(B).
