(N/A) homogeneous equilibrium is one in which all reactants and products are in the same phase.
$(a)$ All species are in the gas phase (homogeneous).
$(e)$ Reactants are gas and liquid,products are aqueous (heterogeneous).
$(f)$ All species are in the liquid phase (homogeneous).
$A$ heterogeneous equilibrium is one in which reactants and products are in different phases.
$(b)$ Solid reactant and aqueous products (heterogeneous).
$(c)$ Solid reactants and products with a gaseous product (heterogeneous).
$(d)$ Solid reactant and aqueous/liquid products (heterogeneous).
Summary:
Homogeneous: $(a), (f)$
Heterogeneous: $(b), (c), (d), (e)$
