Option: (C)

Explanation:

Before Nicolaus Copernicus proposed that planets revolve around the sun, there was a strong prevalent belief in almost all the European countries that Earth was the center of the entire universe and the planets, the sun, and the other bodies in the universe revolved around it. Though the model proposed by Copernicus was not the best one, it played the role of the foundation of knowledge on which other scientists based their studies.
