It is correct, next time re-check your answer and don't second guess yourself. ;3
The correct answer is C. The water is the solvent because the green pellets dissolved in it.
Explanation:
In solutions, the are two substances involved, the solvent and the solute. The solvent is usually a liquid substance; additionally, the solvent dissolves another substance, which is known as the solute. For example, if you dissolve a spoon of salt in a glass of water, the solute is the salt which is the substance dissolved and the solvent is the water because the solute is dissolved in it. According to this, in the case presented the water is the solvent because the green pellets which are the solute dissolve in it.
Kepler did not study the speed of the planets, rather, he studied how the planets move in the solar system. He proposed three laws. As a summary, he described that the planets move around the sun in the shape of an ellipse (orbit), and the Sun being one of the foci. Then, he proposed the period for the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun.
On the other hand, Newton studied the forces acting on the planet (or any object in space) that explain how the planets move around the solar system as described by Kepler. Also, Kepler's observations only apply to planets and not the moons or satellites. Thus, Kepler only made laws from observations, while Newton based it from underlying principles that led him to mathematical equations such as the law of universal gravitation.
