Why is myschool doing like these
They can at least think about the question a little bit
Instead of leaving it for the student
The answer is strongly D
I don't have strength to explain
A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on Earth. The reason it's visible only on a small portion of the Earth's surface is because the apparent size of the moon as seen from Earth is similar to the apparent size of the sun. Since the Earth is larger than the moon, the shadow of the moon only covers a small area on the Earth's surface during a total solar eclipse.
so option D should be the answer 
Seriously,this is disheartening.At this point it seems as though the more you update,the more the wrong answers.My school WHY????
.This can mislead people.This wasn't the my school I paid for....
