The model of the universe that suggests that the sun is the center of the universe was first brought by

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The model of the universe that suggests that the sun is the center of the universe was first brought by Copernicus. His model is known as the "Sun centered model".

Answer 2

Copernicus is the right answer. On page 125 of your study material explains that  Copernicus put a rotating earth in a sun-centered model. The rotation of earth  was able to account for the rising and setting of stars. The orbital motion of the earth and moon also accounted for the motion of the sun and moon with respect  to the stars. This was easier to understand but encountered scrutiny due to its  differences from religious teachings.
