GPT 3.5 · Answer

The statement "The Sun has more mass than the planets" best supports the claim that the planets orbit the Sun because of gravitational force. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object, so the Sun's greater mass would result in a greater gravitational force, which in turn causes the planets to orbit around it.
