Solution

The correct option is C moon
Nominative case is the "subject" of the sentence i.e the person/ thing that carries out the verb/action in the sentence. In the given sentence:
The word, moon in Option A, is the noun in the nominative case because the moon performs the action of coming between the sun and the earth.
The word, sun in Option B is a common noun. However, this word is not in nominative case as the sun is not performing any action.
The word, earth in Option C is a common noun. However, the earth is not the noun in nominative case as it is not performing any action.
The word, comes in Option D, is not a noun. It is a verb.
Hence Option A is the correct answer.
