Answer:

Option: Long after Copernicus died.

Step-by-step explanation:

During Scientific Revolution, Church remains strict to their believes after astronomers like Nicolaus Copernicus gave their theory that the Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the Sun. Church banned the heliocentrism because it was different from their teaching. At last, the church accepted the theory after his death when they realized they were in the wrong position.
