The heliocentric theory explains that planets orbit the Sun at the center of our solar system. It replaced the geocentric theory, which suggested that all objects in space orbit Earth. Which evidence could have helped disprove the geocentric theory and lead to the development of the heliocentric theory?
A - The planet Earth appears to be a stationary point in space.
B - Objects in the sky, including the Sun, appear to revolve around Earth on a daily cycle.
C - The moons of the planet Jupiter are observed revolving around Jupiter
D - Earth's moon appears larger in the sky than the Sun.
