The answer is <span>(a) The Church believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe.

Copernicus' ideas were very unpopular and not logical at the time; most of the world believed in religion. As you can probably tell, Copernicus won in the long run. Now we all KNOW that Earth is indeed not the center of the universe.
Good luck! ;)
Natural Law
This is a philosophy asserting that certain rights are inherent by virtue of human nature or transcendent source. As a result, we are naturally inclined towards certain objective principles that come from our nature and can be discovered through reason.
Susanna Wilkerson Dickinson (1814 – October 7, 1883) and her infant daughter Angelina were among the few American survivors of the 1836 Battle of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution. Her husband, Captain Almaron Dickinson, and 182 other Texian defenders were killed by the Mexican Army.
C because i have done this question and got it right
One major reason the Renaissance began in Italy is linked to its geography. The city-states of Italy, on the Mediterranean Sea, were centers for trade and commerce, the first port of call for both goods and new ideas. I'm not completely sure if it avoided crisis.
Italy was the core of the former Roman empire and at the collapse of the Byzantine empire in 1453, became the refuge for the intellectuals of Constantinople who brought with them many of the great works of the ancient Greeks and Romans, works that had been lost to the West during the Dark Ages. Prior to this, scholars in Italy had been examining the works of the ancients, but they were not very good and often incomplete.
The third reason was political. Because of many political changes, the Holy Roman Empire had essentially lost power in northern Italy, the papal states were governed by various leading families within each region, and the city of Naples dominated the South.
The Renaissance was a rebirth of ancient Greek and Roman thinking and styles, and both the Roman and Greek civilizations were Mediterranean cultures, as is Italy. The best single reason for Italy as the birthplace of the Renaissance was the concentration of wealth, power, and intellect in the Church.
