Joel Schaefer · Answer 1

The correct option is C) At the time of sunrise next day

Explanation:

As the moon moves in its orbit, its side where it gets illuminated by the Sun also changes.

On a full moon day, the moon rises at the time of sunset and sets at the time of sunrise the next day.

On the night of a third quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets during the noon period of the other day.

At first quarter, the moon rises at noon and gets set by the time of mid - night.
