OpenStudy (igreen):

So the moon doesn't show at all..that's obviously a wrong answer.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

shading is shadow (dark)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the new moon?

OpenStudy (igreen):

I just said it couldn't be..the New Moon doesn't show AT ALL, and it's asking which one shows MOST OF THE MOON.

OpenStudy (igreen):

The lines are where you can't see the moon..so which one has least lines?

OpenStudy (igreen):

*the least lines?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it the Waxing Gibbous? I think it is C.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep. You got it..
