    correct option is d) the moon must be full or new phase and be located on the earth-sun plane

    Explanation:

    we know here that eclipse happens when New Moon move between the Earth and the Sun

    because in eclipse Moon passes directly behind Earth and into its shadow

    and lunar eclipse is occur when the Earth casts shadow on the Full Moon

    so in total lunar eclipse the Earth completely block sunlight that is reaching the Moon

    so here correct option is d) the moon must be full or new phase and be located on the earth-sun plane
