few advancements in scientific knowledge were made.
scientists discovered new evidence to support their theories.
scientists discovered that old interpretations of data was incorrect.
scientists used observations and mathematical data to solve problems in new ways.
all theories developed during the time period were disproved by modern science.

Explanation:

The Copernican Revolution shifted the astronomical model from geocentric to heliocentric. It involved using new observational/mathematical methods, finding evidence for the heliocentric model, and disproving the old geocentric interpretation of celestial data. The incorrect options claim no scientific advancements (false, as it was a major shift) or that all contemporary theories were disproven (false, as some foundational work endured).

Answer:

B. Scientists discovered new evidence to support their theories.
C. Scientists discovered that old interpretations of data was incorrect.
D. Scientists used observations and mathematical data to solve problems in new ways.
