In the nebular hypothesis proposed by Pierre-Simon Laplace, he suggested that after the formation of the Sun, it cooled and released energy in the form of heat and light. He also posited that as the Sun formed from a rotating nebula of gas and dust, the conservation of angular momentum would cause it to rotate more quickly. Among the options you've listed, the most accurate choice based on Laplace's ideas would be:

The sun rotated more quickly.
