The incorrect aspect of Rutherford’s model that was fixed by Bohr’s model is:

Electrons move freely in curved paths around the nucleus.

Bohr introduced the idea that electrons exist in specific energy levels or orbits around the nucleus, rather than moving freely in arbitrary orbits. This was a significant improvement in explaining the stability of atoms and their spectral lines.
