<p>“most obvious quality” is an empirical fact which, according to Galileo, is “most irrelevant”, hence the answer that empirical facts do not always clarify scientific understanding. Galileo says that the most obvious quality, known as a fact, is irrelevant to the understanding of motion. </p>

<p>the choice E is incorrect because there is no discussion about scientific discoveries, Galileo is talking about understanding motion.</p>
