During a new moon, the moon is in between the earth and the sun

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

New moon day also known as solar eclipse that occurs when the moon is located in between the sun and the earth. In that phase, the sun, moon and earth are in alignment.

Usually they cannot be seen from earth with our naked eyes. Here the sun and the earth will be facing the opposite sides. Hence option B.C and D are irrelevant.
