Answer:
B. Geocentric solar system
Explanation:
The scientific community is the one that accepts or dismisses theories. Some theories are accepted, and that is because there are enough evidence that support them, while some theories are dismissed as they have been proven over time that they are not correct.
One of the theories that is outdated and has been dismissed by the scientific community is the theory of the geocentric solar system. This theory has been in place and widely accepted for a very long time, pretty much two millenniums.
This theory was basically suggesting that the Earth is the center of the solar system. The Sun, Moon, all the other planets that were known, as well as the stars, were all orbiting around the Earth. This has been proven as wrong (except that the Moon is orbiting around Earth), and that the theory is far away from the truth, so naturally once there were enough evidence it was dismissed.
The correct answer is C. There is a large amount of rain or snow in the air.
Explanation
According to the fragment of the question that states that "To use a radar, a weather tower sends out radio waves and then detects the waves that are reflected back to the tower" it is possible to infer that the radar waves that are reflected towards the tower They are the product of the collision of these waves with an object that is in the air such as rain. Therefore, in the case in which a large number of radio waves are reflected towards the tower in a particular area, it can be said that this is due to a large number of objects in the air in this area such as rain or snow. So the correct answer is C. There is a large amount of rain or snow in the air.
