The correct option is A <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Aryabhatta

Heliocentrism is the astronomical model in which the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun at the center of the Solar System. Historically, heliocentrism was opposed to geocentrism, which placed the Earth at the center. In India, Aryabhata was the first to propose the theory that the earth revolves around the sun.
