Answer: <em>The answer is OPTION "D"!</em>

Explanation: The track of the Moon's shadow across Earth's surface is called the Path of Totality. This path is typically 16,000 kilometers (about 10,000 miles) long but only 160 kilometers (100 miles) or so wide. In order to see the Sun totally eclipsed by the Moon, you must be in the path of totality.
