ANSWER
As the given sentence in the direct speech is a universal truth, we will not change its tense in the indirect speech.
Optio. A - 'Revolving' is the continuous form of the verb, which is used to represent the continuous tenses. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'Had revolved' is used to represent the sentence in the past perfect tense. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option D - 'Does revolve' is used in the present tense to form a question and to reassure something. For example, 'Does the moon revolve around the Earth?' or 'She does come to work everyday.' Thus option D is incorrect.
Option C - 'Revolves' is the third person form of the verb, which can be used with the third person subject 'Earth', to represent the simple present tense. As the sentence in the direct speech is in the simple present tense, we can use 'revolves' here. Thus option C is the correct answer.
'The teacher said that the Earth revolves around the Sun.'
