The answer is B. he thought that the planets moved in perfect circles, rather than ellipses :)

Answer:

B. Copernicus described the orbits of the planet's as circular.

Explanation:

Copernican model was a sun-centric model which is also known as heliocentric model. In this model, sun is at the center of the solar system and all the planets including Earth revolve about it in circular orbits.

According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, the orbits are not actually circular but elliptical with Sun at one of its focus.

Thus, option B is correct.
