Which consequence resulted from accumulating empirical data of planetary motion prior to Kepler?

A)Refinement of Ptolemaic epicycles
B)Acceptance of heliocentric orbits
C)Replacement of geocentric principles
D)Disuse of predictive astronomical tables

Refinement of epicycles become essential for improved geocentric model accuracy because observational discrepancies emerged over long timelines; therefore Ptolemaic models received continued complex updates, rather than wholesale replacement by entirely different astronomical paradigms.
