Question 12 • 2025-2026_MDCPS_2109010-M/J World History Sem 1-CR

Which statement best describes the heliocentric theory developed by ancient Indians?

Answer
A
The planets rotate around the Sun.
B
The moon blocks the light from the Sun.
C
The Earth’s shadow creates moon phases.
D
The moon is shaped by the Sun and Earth.

Explanation

A heliocentric theory places the Sun at the center and describes planets as moving around it. So the statement that the planets rotate around the Sun best describes the ancient Indian heliocentric theory. The other choices concern eclipses or explanations of the Moon’s phases, not a Sun-centered model.
