Answer:

C. It transformed the ways Europeans thought and led to more revolutions in the future

Explanation:

The scientific revolution is a concept used to explain the emergence of science during the early modern age, associated mainly with the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in which new ideas and knowledge in physics, astronomy, biology (including human anatomy) and chemistry transformed the ancient and medieval visions on nature and laid the foundations of classical science. According to most versions, the scientific revolution began in Europe towards the end of the Renaissance era and continued through the eighteenth century, influencing the intellectual social movement known as the Enlightenment. Although their dates are discussed, the publication in 1543 of Nicolaus Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Twists of the Celestial Orbs) is usually cited as the beginning of the scientific revolution.

A first phase of the scientific revolution, focused on the recovery of knowledge of the ancients, can be described as the Scientific Renaissance and is considered to have culminated in 1632 with the publication of Galileo's essay; Dialogues on the two highest systems in the world. The conclusion of the scientific revolution is attributed to the "great synthesis" of 1687 of Principia by Isaac Newton, who formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation and completed the synthesis of a new cosmology. At the end of the 18th century, the scientific revolution had given way to the "Age of Reflection".
