Detailed Solution

‘Traditional aristocratic groups supported it’ was not the reason for the popularity of scientific ideas among the common people in eighteenth-century Europe. A particular society that is considered to have a high class, were known as Aristocrats. Traditional Aristocratic groups supported the popularity of scientific ideas, They were not considered as a reason for gaining popularity of scientific ideas. Other options, Printing press idea of Issac Newton was not at all the reason, as his invention was focused on calculus, motion, etc. The development of the printing press was also not supportive of scientific ideas because it was engaged in developing prints and modern science. The interest of people in science and reason was also not one of the reasons as people were more interested in heavenly bodies, not in the traditional approach.
