Answer: B. New moon day and full moon day

The phases occur in this specific order for the two types of eclipses:
Solar Eclipse: Occurs on a New Moon day, when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light.
Lunar Eclipse: Occurs on a Full Moon day, when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon.
