Answer :

The correct answer to the question is:

d) Lunar eclipse

During a lunar eclipse, the full Moon moves through Earth's shadow. This phenomenon occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, with the Earth blocking the sunlight from reaching the Moon. As a result, the Moon may appear to have a reddish hue due to the Earth's atmosphere bending sunlight into the shadow.

In contrast, during a solar eclipse, the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, causing the Moon to block the Sun's light from reaching Earth. This results in a temporary shadow cast on Earth, visible in specific regions where the alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth is precise.

Therefore, to answer the question correctly, you should select option d) Lunar eclipse, as it specifically describes the scenario where the full Moon moves through Earth's shadow.
