Solution

The correct option is A True
As the Moon moves around the Earth, we see only one side of the moon because the time period of rotation and the time period of revolution of the Moon are the same.
This means the time the Moon takes to move around the Earth is the same as the time it takes to move along its axis, and this is the reason that we see only one side of the Moon.
