The correct answer is B. Geocentrism

Explanation

Geocentrism is an astronomical theory that considers that the center of the universe is the Earth and that the rest of the stars (including the Sun) orbit around the Earth. This theory was in force for a long time until the 16th century, when Heliocentrism was adopted, a theory in which it was found that, unlike the geocentric theory the center of the universe was the sun, later, it was established that the sun was not the center of the universe but was only the orbital center of the Solar System. So the correct answer is B. Geocentrism
