Solution

The correct option is A

After $15$ days of new moon day, there will be a full moon day and therefore, we are able to see the full moon on the fifteenth day of the same month. From the below options, option C represents full moon because, on a full moon day, the moon can be seen as a full circle. But in option B we can only see a semi circle.
