• B. The symbol'i' for expressing imaginary numbers

• D. Prime numbers are infinite

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Co-ordinates of a point in a plane

The idea related to René Descartes is "Coordinates of a point in a plane."

René Descartes is famously known for developing the Cartesian coordinate system, which uses pairs of numerical coordinates to specify the position of points in a plane. This system, which is foundational in analytic geometry, allows for the geometric interpretation of algebraic equations. Thus, the concept of coordinates of a point in a plane is directly related to Descartes.
