Answer 1

d. The earth rotates around the sun

Step-by-step explanation:

• Nicolas Copernicus is considered the first person to give the theory of heliocentric, or Sun-centered system of our planetary system.

• In the heliocentric system, it is considered that the sun is stationary and the earth revolves around the sun.

• He stated that the sun is at the center of the universe and the earth spins on its axis once daily and revolves around the sun in one year.

• And today we know it is correct that earth rotates on its own axis and also revolves around the sun.
