Between Choices B and E, I went with E. THe right one was B. The only reason I went with E was that E makes it active voice and more succinct thought it changes the tense. I didn't think tense mattered since it wasn't a sequence that I was breaking by changing tense.
B doesn't change the tense, but is wordy. So is the lesson learnt that - always keep tense in sentence, ignoring rules of Active Voice/Wordiness?
Galileo’s theory that ours was indeed a solar system, in which Earth and other planets revolve around the sun, reinforced those of Copernicus a. Same as above
b. Ours was indeed a solar system, in which Earth and other planets revolve around the sun, reinforced that of Copernicus
c. Our solar system was indeed solar for Earth and the other planets revolve around the sun, reinforced Copernicus
d. Our system was indeed solar, in which Earth and other planets revolved around the sun, reinforced those of Copernicus
e. Earth and the other planets revolve around the sun in our solar system reinforces that of Copernicus

I think that facts/theories should be stated in present tense and not in past...
Shouldn't B at fault for this.... Your comments Gaurav...

Yeah Saumster, it's probably better not to post the OAs upfront because it deters other members from actively participating in the discussion/topic/issue at hand. Another reason why E is wrong is because Earth is a proper noun in this case and therefore must be preceeded by the definate article "the."

Good point. If you look at the break up of the sentence :
Galileo’s theory that ours was indeed a solar system, in which Earth and other planets revolve around the sun, reinforced that of Copernicus.
The fact in blue still maintains the present tense.
The theory was given in past so I guess it's ok to use past tense here.
I am myself convinced 100% of the structure.

Ours was indeed a solar system - So it no longer is

Woah! "the" before a proper noun? Where did you learn that rule...please cite so I can read it too. I'm still not convinced of B. I myself raised sumit's questions about "was a solar system" so it isn't now?
This could however be explained as that the theory was formed in the past doesn't reflect if its valid or not now.
