Answer

Brief Explanations:

Tycho Brahe was a Danish nobleman and astronomer. Johannes Kepler was Tycho Brahe's assistant and student. Kepler used Brahe's extensive astronomical data to formulate his laws of planetary motion, which provided strong evidence for the heliocentric model of the solar - system. Galileo made important astronomical discoveries but was not a student of Brahe. Newton formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation later and was not Brahe's student. Ptolemy proposed the geocentric model long before Brahe's time.

Answer:

B. Kepler
