1. We have "that" before the sun, so it is actually gives us right to throw out D and E.
Because or "believed that the sun" or "believed the sun to be". The second one is not our case.
D, E are out.
2. C is out to. We have "they" here. And it unclear to who it refers. There has to be Earth or Sun. So no place for They.
3. I am not one hundreed percent sure about it. But I suppose that B is out too.
"it" is needless as I think.
So, A.
