Why was galileo galilei brought before the inquisition? for insisting that earth stands still at the center of the universe for proving that planets move in elliptical orbits for putting forth evidence that earth moves around the sun for suggesting that the sun is a star

The correct answer is C. For putting forth evidence that Earth moves around the sun.

Explanation

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer and physicist, who stood out for the improvements he made to the telescope and the advances he made in the first law of motion. Additionally, he was known for development of the heliocentric theory, which is the theory that states the sun is at the center of the universe and the planets and stars move in orbit around it, contradicting the geocentric theory that posed that the Earth was the center of the universe. This caused Galileo to be accused by the inquisition and forced to retract to avoid being punished for it. In the end, Galilee retracted arguing that despite his retraction, the reality would remain the same, that is, that the earth was not the center of the universe. So, the correct answer is C. For putting forth evidence that Earth moves around the sun.
