half circle
C
star
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, the phase when it is a bright, round circle, is called the full moon phase.

Detailed explanation-2: -Moon is similar to earth in shape like a sphere, thus option D is correct.

Detailed explanation-3: -At times, the Moon appears as just a thin sliver or crescent, like the tip of your fingernail. Sometimes the crescent faces left and at other times, it faces right. The Moon can take the shape of a perfect half circle, and then in about two weeks, it looks like a bright full circle.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is the Moon really shaped like? The Moon is shaped like an imperfect sphere. From a distance, it looks nearly round. Seen up close, the Moon’s surface is a three-dimensional landscape of mountains, valleys, and craters.

Detailed explanation-5: -The moon’s day side – its fully lighted hemisphere – directly faces us. Chart via John Goss/ EarthSky. It’s that feature of a full moon – the fact that it’s opposite the sun as viewed from Earth – that causes a full moon to look full and round.
