B.
At full moon the Sun is lighting the side of the Moon facing Earth, so the far (other) side is facing away from the Sun and is dark.
(A is false.)
Also, first quarter occurs about a week before full, not after (so C is false), and the next new moon is about two weeks later, not about one month (so D is false).
