Solution

The correct option is B Nicolaus Copernicus
Nicolaus Copernicus came up with his model of the universe with the following theories: 1) All the planets in the sky revolve around the Sun and together they form a Solar System.
2) The stars are distant objects that do not revolve around the Sun and hence are not a part of our solar system.
This model came to be known as the Heliocentric model of the universe.
