Answer:

A. Church officials believed the theory contradicted current religious

teachings.

Explanation:

The Catholic Church believed that if their teaching of geocentric model, which states that the Earth is in the centre of the solar system and that the whole universe revolves around it, was proven false, then people would start to question the rest of the Catholic Teachings.

Answer:

A.

Explanation: Galileo's heliocentric theory was controversial because the Church believed that God put the earth in the center of the solar system (instead of sun) and that it is the most important planet and other planets should go around us. Extra fact: When the Church heard about his theory he was not killed instead he had to stay at home till the end of his life if he does not take his theory back (which he did not so he stayed at home and could not go out) also, because of his theory that he wrote and everything, it was in the Churches banned books.
