MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Susan is a space scientist who made this diagram of the Moon and Earth, as seen from above (top view), with sunlight coming from the left, as shown by the arrows. Why does Susan’s diagram show that it’s bright on the left half of the Moon?
Because as the Moon gets closer to the sun more of it is lit by the sun, so Susan’s diagram is showing sunlight on half of the Moon.
Because the Moon has some lighter-colored rock and some darker-colored rock, and Susan’s diagram is showing that the half of the Moon with the lighter-colored rock has rotated to the left.
Because there is a shadow from Earth falling on half of the Moon, and Susan’s diagram is showing that shadow on the right half of the Moon.
Because Susan’s diagram is showing that the half of the Moon that is facing the sun is lit by the sun, and the other half is dark.

Three people made the diagrams above to show what they think the Moon looks like when it is seen from above (top view). In these diagrams, the sunlight is coming from the left, as shown by the arrows. Which diagram is accurate and why?
Diagram A is accurate because the half of the Moon that is facing the sun is lit by the sun, and the other half is dark.
Diagram B is accurate because the whole Moon is bright as long as there are no shadows covering parts of it.
Diagram C is accurate because the Moon is almost as close as it can be to the sun, and so the Moon is almost fully lit by the sun.
All three diagrams are sometimes accurate because the Moon has some lighter-colored rock and some darker-colored rock, and the half of the Moon with the lighter-colored rock rotates to face different directions.
