Explanation:

La teoría heliocéntrica de Copérnico propone que el Sol es el centro del universo, mientras que la visión científica popular en su época era la geocéntrica, que consideraba que la Tierra era el centro. Analicemos las opciones:

• "most people thought there was no outside universe": No se relaciona con la diferencia entre heliocentrismo y geocentrismo.
• "humans were thought to be at the mercy of the gods": No es el motivo de la diferencia en la visión del universo.
• "the earth was thought to be the center of the universe rather than the sun": Esta opción coincide, ya que la geocentrismo (Tierra como centro) era la creencia popular, y Copérnico propuso el heliocentrismo (Sol como centro).
• "the moon was thought to be the center of the universe rather than the sun": La creencia popular no era que la Luna fuera el centro, sino la Tierra.

C. the earth was thought to be the center of the universe rather than the sun.
