Solution

The correct option is D

Either full or new moon


If the earth and the moon are in line with the sun, then we can have either new moon or full moon phase. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, the bright side of the Moon is facing away from the Earth, and we have a New Moon. When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, the bright side of the Moon is facing towards the Earth, and we have a full Moon.
