Solution

The correct option is D Equinox
The day-time and night-time on the equinox day are of approximately the same duration throughout the planet. It takes place on 21st March and 23rd September, twice a year.
Full moon day happens when Moon and Sun are on the Earth's opposite sides and full moon is noticeable in the sky. The duration of day and night has nothing to do with it.
