Solution

The correct option is D
Either full or new moon.

If the Earth and Moon are in a line with the Sun, then we can have either new moon or full moon phase on Earth. The Sun and Moon are on the same side of the Earth on new moon day and they are on the opposite sides of the Earth on full moon day.
