Solution

The correct option is B when Earth is between Sun and Moon
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, the Earth and the Moon all fall in a straight line. The Earth comes in between the Sun and the Moon and blocks the sunlight from reaching the Moon. As a result, the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon. This phenomenon is called a lunar eclipse.
