Options Given:

A. Each planet spins in an epicycle.

B. Planets appear to move backward.

C. Jupiter has moons orbiting it.

D. The religious and cultural beliefs supported this model.

Answer 2

Over time he discovered that the Moon-like phases of Venus demonstrated that the neighboring planet had an orbit independent of Earth.
