The correct answer is D.

Explanation: During the 16th century, Nicholas Copernicus introduced a new model which was consistent with the observations and allowed for perfect circular motion. This is known as the Heliocentric model where the Sun is placed at the centre of the Solar System and the Earth is, like all the other planets, orbiting it.
