A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probably, if the sun was too close to the center of the galaxy, the solar system would experience chaos, such as a high frequency of collisions with other planets and stars, due to the enormous pull of the super black hole at the center of the MilkyWay Galaxy causing celestial objects to spin at very high speeds at its horizon – including bending light.

The position is postulated as the Galactic habitable zone.
