Solution

The correct option is C Aryabhatta
Heliocentrism is the astronomical model in which the Earth and all the other planets revolve around the Sun. Aryabhatta (476–550), in his magnum opus Aryabhatiya (499), propounded a planetary model in which the Earth was taken to be spinning on its axis. The alternation between days and nights depended on this rotation.
