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One of the theories that is outdated and has been dismissed by the scientific community is the theory of the geocentric solar system.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.
No, the answer is C. If it was A and the air cools, then why are deserts hot?

This is called the rain shadow effect, where one side of the mountain is moist and cool and the other side is a desert.
