A
TRUE
B
FALSE
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bruno said the universe has no center, and stars are suns, surrounded by planets and moons. Remarkably, he thus outlined large-scale aspects of our cosmology, while Copernicus and Kepler mistakenly thought the universe is spherical, the sun is its center, unmoving, and stars are not suns surrounded by planets.

Detailed explanation-2: -“There are therefore innumerable suns; there are infinite earths that equally revolve around these suns, in the same way as we see these seven (planets) revolve around this sun that is close to us.”[2]. Giordano Bruno (Third Dialog).

Detailed explanation-3: -When Giordano Bruno and Galileo Galilei dared to believe that the universe was heliocentric, the boundaries that they crossed lead to life-changing conflicts with the Catholic Church. In the heliocentric conception of the universe, Earth rotated on its axis once every day and orbited around the sun every year.

Detailed explanation-4: -Giordano Bruno (1548–1600) was an Italian scientist and philosopher who espoused the Copernican idea of a heliocentric (sun-centered) universe as opposed to the church’s teachings of an Earth-centered universe. He also believed in an infinite universe with numerous inhabited worlds.
