Question

what is some of the evidence used by galileo to support copernicuss model and disprove aristotle and ptolemys?
each planet spins in an epicycle.
planets appear to move backward.
jupiter has moons orbiting it.
the religious and cultural beliefs supported this model.

Explanation:

Galileo observed Jupiter's moons through his telescope. This showed that not everything orbited the Earth, supporting Copernicus' heliocentric model which placed the Sun at the center. The idea of planets spinning in epicycles was part of the Ptolemaic model. Planets moving backward (retrograde motion) was known before Galileo and was explained in different ways by different models. Religious and cultural beliefs were not scientific evidence used by Galileo.

Answer:

C. Jupiter has moons orbiting it.
