b. It describes the periodic recurrence of chemical properties
c. Because the rows are called periods
d. Because the elements are grouped as metals, metalloids, and nonmetals
e. All of these answers are correct

I'm not sure which one is correct but I hope my explanation helps.

Explanation:

It is called the periodic table because of the way the elements are arranged. You'll notice they're in rows and columns. The horizontal rows (which go from left to right) are called 'periods' and the vertical columns (going from up to down) are called 'groups'
