Solution

The correct option is A 180 degree
On each new moon day, the lines joining the earth and the sun and the moon make an angle of 0 degree whereas on each full moon day, this angle is of 180 degree. Even so, the sun, the earth, and the moon may not be in one straight line in the same plane on every new moon or full moon day.
