The correct answer is:
a model in which the Sun is at the center of the solar system
Explanation:
The heliocentric model of the solar system is a scientific model that places the Sun at the center of the system, with the planets, including Earth, orbiting around it. This model was proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century, replacing the geocentric model which believed that Earth was at the center of the universe. The heliocentric model has been widely accepted since then due to supporting evidence and observations.
