C.) An Earth-Centric model of planetary motion published by Ptolemy

Earth-centric model was developed by Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemaeus in the 2nd century AD. 'Almagaest' was his main work and it was the culmination of centuries of work done in Astronomy by Babylonian, Hellenistic and Hellenic astronomers.

What was the significance of the hellenistic culture?

trasher [3.6K]

A. It created widespread blending of cultures.

That brief but thorough empire-building campaign changed the world: It spread Greek ideas and culture from the Eastern Mediterranean to Asia. Historians call this era the “Hellenistic period.” (The word “Hellenistic” comes from the word Hellazein, which means “to speak Greek or identify with the Greeks.”)
