The correct answer is A. The moon rotates on its axis at the same rate at which it orbits Earth so that the side of the moon that faces Earth remains the same as it orbits.

Explanation

The moon is the most popular and well-known natural satellite on planet earth, it is a satellite widely studied by humans, they have even walked on the moon. However, from Earth, at night when you see the moon you always see the same face of the moon, which has caused people to wonder why this phenomenon. The answer to this phenomenon is that we always see the same face of the moon because it takes the same time to rotate once on itself as it does to go around the Earth (about 27 days). The result is that the same part of the moon always points towards the earth. According to the above, the correct answer is A. The moon rotates on its axis at the same rate at which it orbits Earth so that the side of the moon that faces Earth remains the same as it orbits.
