B: Moon in perigee orbit; Moon moves a direct line between Sun and Earth; Moon in new moon phase

C: Moon in perigee orbit;Moon moves a direct line between Sun and Earth; Moon in full moon phase

D: Moon in apogee orbit, Moon moves a direct line between Sun and Earth; Moon in new moon phase

B: Moon in perigee orbit; Moon moves a direct line between Sun and Earth; Moon in new moon phase

Explanation:

Total eclipses occur when the Moon is closest to the Earth (perigee). The sun is the luminous body in the solar system.

As the moon revolves round the earth, the earth also revolves round the sun. A point may come when the moon comes in direct line between the sun and the earth. A solar eclipse results. The sun is momentarily cut off from the view of people in umbra regions on earth.
