Solution

The correct option is A

Red


The only light seen during lunar eclipse is refracted through the earth's shadow. The atmosphere acts like a filtered lens. It bends red sunlight into Earth's shadow and scatters out blue light. Because of its reddish color, a total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon.
