Respuesta :

Answer: A, the portion of the lit part of the moon as seen from earth

Explanation: The lunar phase or Moon phase is the shape of the Moon's directly sunlit portion as viewed from Earth. The lunar phases gradually change over a synodic month (about 29.53 days) as the Moon's orbital positions around Earth and Earth around the Sun shift.
