All of the statements (A, B, and C) are true about the planets in the solar system. They all revolve around the Sun in the same direction (counterclockwise as seen from above the Sun's North Pole), orbit around the Sun in nearly the same plane (known as the ecliptic), and have nearly circular orbits (with eccentricities ranging from almost zero for Venus to about 0.25 for Mars).
