The correct option is:
C
can only be seen from within the moon’s umbra
A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun's light completely for viewers within the path of totality, where the moon's umbra (the darkest part of its shadow) falls on the Earth.
