I believe it's A.

For example, the scientific community used to believe that we lived in a geocentric solar system when in reality, we live in a heliocentric solar system. This idea was proved over time due to famous scientists such as Galileo Galilei, Nicolaus Copernicus, and James Bradley over a course of many years and as such, ideas changed with new scientific evidence.
