the correct awnser is C; planets revolve around the sun

Copernicus proposed this idea. before he proposed this, they thought that the sun and everything around the earth (like planets) revolves around earth. they thought that the earth was the center of the universe. this is called the geocentric theory.

hope this helps:)
