The evidence that Galileo used to support Copernicus's model apart from the idea that Jupiter has moons orbiting it, is ( C ): "Venus has phases similar to the moon"

The Observations made by Galileo to support Copernicus's model while disproving Aristotle and Ptolemy includes that Jupiter has moons orbiting it and also Venus when observed from the earth appears just like the moon appears/seen when it orbits round the sun ( i.e. in phases ). this means that Venus has evenings and mornings phases just like the moon.

The Copernicus model is the model of the solar system whereby the sun is the center of focus while other planets revolve around it.

Hence the observations made by Galileo about Venus appearing in phases similar to the moon's phases support the Copernicus model.
