Answer:

B) proving Galileo's heliocentric theory.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the theory that would have benefitted the most from the use of the telescope. Galileo's theory stated that the body at the center of the solar system is the sun, not the Earth. This can be observed with the use of a telescope. On the other hand, the theories of Bacon and Newton do not require a telescope to be proven, while Harvey's theory would need a microscope, not a telescope.
