Explanation:

Question 5

Gravity pulls matter equally in all directions. For massive objects, this results in a spherical shape as gravity tries to minimize the distance from the center to the surface. A square, oval, or disk don't fit this gravitational effect on large masses.

Isaac Newton formulated the law of universal gravitation, describing gravity's effect between masses. William Herschel discovered Uranus, Copernicus proposed heliocentrism, and Ptolemy supported geocentrism; neither described gravity as Newton did.

Answer:

C. sphere
