Solution

The correct options are
A There will be no rainfall on the moon.
B Wind doesn't blow on the moon.
As there is no atmosphere on the surface of the moon, phenomena like rain and wind are not possible. As these erosional elements will not be available, footprints set on the moons surface will remain intact for years.
