D
The correct answer is C.
The correct answer is option C.
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the correct model of the solar system and the scientist who supports it.
In the geocentric model, Earth is believed to be at the center of the solar system. The scientist who supported this view is Aristotle.
In the heliocentric model, the Sun is believed to be at the center of the solar system. The scientist who supported this view is Galileo.
Option A shows Galileo supporting the geocentric model, which is incorrect.
Option B shows Aristotle supporting the heliocentric model, which is also incorrect.
Option D shows Galileo supporting the heliocentric model, which is the correct pairing.
Option C correctly identifies the geocentric model with Aristotle and the heliocentric model with Galileo, so it is the correct answer.
The correct answer is C.
Model: geocentric
Definition of Model: Earth is at the center of the solar system.
Scientist who Supported It: Aristotle
Model: heliocentric
Definition of Model: The Sun is at the center of the solar system.
Scientist who Supported It: Galileo
