Explanation:

• Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model, replacing the older geocentric view.
• Kepler refined this with his three laws of planetary motion, making orbital predictions far more accurate.
• Newton's law of universal gravitation explained the physical forces behind planetary motion, completing a mathematically consistent and highly accurate model of the universe's mechanics.

The other options include scientists focused on anatomy, scientific method, or biology, not cosmic model development.

Answer:

D. Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton
