Solution

The correct option is B
There will be phases of Moon

It will not have the phases because the phases are due to the reflection of sunlight falling on the moon and due to its revolution around the Earth. Now, since the moon will have its own light, it need not be dependent on Sun's light to glow, so it will glow continuously and completely.
