Explanation

Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist and astronomer of the 16th and 17th centuries who was born on February 15, 1564 and died in 1642 at the age of 77. He is known throughout the world for defending, through the scientific method and at the risk of his own life, the heliocentric theory of Nicholas Copernicus, in which it is stated that the sun is the center of the universe and therefore the other planets revolve around of the. Also, he was one of the first humans who developed advances for the creation of the telescope, with this instrument he managed to identify four Jupiter satellites.

He is also known for making his studies on heliocentric theory public, knowing that contradicting geocentric theory (adopted by most people and institutions for this time) could lead him to the Inquisition for heresy. This had adverse effects against him because shortly before he died he had to retract and deny the heliocentric theory so they would not burn him at the stake. So, the correct answer is 3. His friendly relationship with the pope in Rome allowed him to publish works that challenged Church doctrine wwithout suffering any punishment.
