D.) He analyzed data collected by Tycho Brahe.

[ More Information. - Issac Newton calculated the gravitational force on orbiting bodies, G. Galilei examined the motions of planets through a telescope.]

Hope this helps!

The right option is; D.) He analyzed data collected by Tycho Brahe.

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer who developed his laws of planetary motion by analyzing the astronomical observations that Tycho Brahe had collected over many years. The three scientific laws of Kepler describe the movement of planets around the Sun. The first law of Kepler states that the orbits of the planets are ellipses, with the sun at one of the two foci.
