I'm sorry, but none of the given options are correct. The main reason why the geocentric model (which placed Earth at the center of the universe) was accepted for more than a thousand years is because it aligned with religious and philosophical beliefs of the time, particularly within the dominant Christian and Aristotelian worldviews.
