Here’s the correct categorization of each item into "geocentric model" and "heliocentric model":

Geocentric Model:

  • a. earth is at the center of the solar system
  • b. the orbits of the planets are circular
  • e. includes five planets (referring to the classical planets known in ancient times)

Heliocentric Model:

  • c. includes eight planets
  • d. the sun is at the center of the solar system
  • D. the orbits of the planets are elliptical

(Note: Option "D" should be in lower case as 'd' to maintain consistency in formatting, but it is the same item.)
