There is also no reliable proof we landed an the moon and no proof we didn't land so that option is a bit controversial.

Given all that, you answer is A.

Answer: A. Flat Earth theory

Step-by-step explanation:

In recent times the internet has disseminated a "new" and "revolutionary" conception about the shape of the Earth: Flat Earth theory. This is associated with other conflicting ideas with current scientific knowledge. It states, for example, that: gravity is inexistent, the Moon is self-illuminated, the Sun and other stars are just of thousands of miles away from us, the Sun and the Moon describe parallel orbits to the surface of the earth, space travel is impossible. This theory affirms the anthropocentric geocentrism and the creationist idea that the Earth is only 6 thousand years old. None of those affirmations is scientifically sound.

Among the pieces of evidence on the sphericity of the Earth, already mentioned by Aristotle in Ancient Greece, rests the curved shadow of the Earth on the lunar surface during a lunar eclipse and the fact that the view of the sky changes as the observer differ in latitudes: different stars can be observed in different latitudes. The terraplanist conception that the sun always moves on the face of the Flat Earth implies that there should be no night, since the Sun would always remain above of the horizon.
