The correct answer is A) The Bible passages about the sun standing still should not have been interpreted literally.

Cardinal Bellarmine responded to the arguments from Galileo in that "The Bible passages about the sun standing still should not have been interpreted literally."

Galileo (1564-1642) was an Italian mathematician and astronomer that invented the telescope and supported the idea that the Sun was the center of the Solar system and the planets circle the sun traveling in their own orbits, in opposition to the church beliefs that considered the Earth as the center. For his thoughts, Galileo was accused of heresy a couple of times and in order to avoid punishment, he has to deny himself.
