Solution

The correct option is A Copernicus
"The earth revolves rounds the Sun not the Sun revolves rounds the Earth." This conclusion was made by Copernicus. He was an astronomer of Poland. He is still considered as the father of the modern astronomy. Copernicus concluded from his studies that every planet, including Earth, revolved around the Sun. He also determined that the Earth rotates daily on its axis. At that time, Copernicus did not have any tools to prove his theories. Later, astronomers such as Galileo proved that he was correct.
