A Correct answer
Explanation

Nicolaus Copernicus formulated the heliocentric (sun-centered) model of the solar system in the 16th century, published in his work 'De revolutionibus orbium coelestium' (1543). This challenged the geocentric model. Option A (Copernicus) is correct. Plato predated this work; Galileo supported it later; Edwin Hubble worked on galaxies in the 20th century.
