Answer 1

Answer:

B. Lyceum

Aristotle founded the Peripatetic school of philosophy in 335 BC in the Lyceum in Athens. The school was also known as the Lyceum because of its association with the gymnasium. 

• The school was informal and its members conducted scientific and philosophical inquiries. 

• The school was named after the peripatoi, or walkways, of the Lyceum where the members met. 

• The school was named Peripatetic because Aristotle was known to walk around the grove while lecturing his students. 

• The school's work laid the groundwork for the development of modern science.
