A. Because the American Indian calendar counts 13 full moons in a year.

Explanation:

Native American Calendars were nor determined by specific numbers, but with specific seasons, that's why the used the moon to measure periods of time, like months. Not every American Tribe had the same calendar, there were several variations, but northern tribes, New England's and Cree Tribes tend to count 13 moon, meaning 13 months.
