d. The earth rotates around the sun
Explanation:

- In the heliocentric system, it is considered that the sun is stationary and the earth revolves around the sun.

Where:
is the speed of light in vacuum

Finally:

I notice that even though we're working with frames of reference
here, you never said which frame the '5 km/hr' is measured in.
In fact ! You didn't even say which frame the '12 km/hr' of his
bike is measured in.
So there are several different ways this could go. I'll do it the way
I THINK you meant it, but that doesn't guarantee anything.
-- Simon is riding his bike at 12 km/hr relative to the sidewalk,
away from Keesha.
-- He throws a ball at Keesha, at 5 km/hr relative to his own face.
-- Keesha sees the ball approaching her at (12 - 5) = 7 km/hr
relative to the ground and to her.
Answer a would be correct since velocity is a vector and has a magnitude and a direction. In this case v₁ = - v₂.
