Respuesta :

Answer: A

Explanation: Galileo's conflict with the Catholic Church stemmed from his belief that: A. the Earth was not the center of the universe but rather orbited around the Sun.  This belief contradicted the geocentric model supported by the Catholic Church at that time, leading to conflict and eventual condemnation of Galileo's heliocentric views.
