The correct statement is: Ptolemy's model involved epicycles moving along perfect circles.

Ptolemy's geocentric model included the concept of epicycles, which were smaller circles that the planets moved along while simultaneously orbiting the Earth in larger circles (deferents). While Aristotle's model also placed the Earth at the center, it did not prominently feature the use of epicycles in the way Ptolemy's model did.
