Answer: B. Earth

The correct answer is B. Earth.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the sunlight that normally reflects off the lunar surface. Because the Earth is an opaque object, it casts its shadow into space. When the Moon passes through this shadow, it darkens or turns a reddish-orange colour.
