B. Hypatia .

C. Hypatia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypatia of Alexandria was the first woman documented to have openly worked on mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. With her father, she attempted to conserve the spirit of Greek mathematics and philosophic examination. She strongly encouraged observation and measurement in natural philosophy, at a time when mathematics was deemed blasphemy.

Aristotle was one of Plato's most important pupils. However, after Plato's death, Aristotle turned to immanent realism and rejected Plato's theory of forms.
