Solution

The correct option is D
Due to the weak gravity, small pieces of the moon broke away from the surface.

Many asteroids and meteoroids collided on the moon many years ago. These collisions caused depressions or craters on the moon’s surface. Hence, sometimes when we look at the moon from the earth, it looks like cheese.
