Answer
Contrary to what the options might suggest, Avempace's name was not Latinized after any philosophical figure. The "Latinized" name'Avempace' itself stems from the Arabic translation of his real name, Ibn Bajjah. Despite being widely regarded as a philosophical figure in the Islamic world, Avempace's influence on Western philosophy remains relatively unexplored. As such, there isn't a specific Latinized name associated with him.
