Answer:

b. he inferred the orbits were circular

Explanation:

Johannes Kepler was a German astrologer and astronomer who, successfully, defined the orbit. According to his first law, the planets moved in elliptical orbits. However, before this, he believed that the universe was circular just as Copernicus did. In this sense, he also thought that the orbits of the planets were circular. Later did he realize the truth after observing the movements of the planets in relation to their distances from the Sun and the total amount of time needed to complete their revolutions around it.
