Solution : The correct option is the moon comes between the Earth and the Sun.
When the Moon comes in front of the Sun, it blocks some or all of the Sun's light from reaching the Earth, and a solar eclipse takes place. When a total solar eclipse occurs, the Sun is entirely obscured by the moon as seen from the Earth. The solar corona, or outer atmosphere of the Sun, comes into view.
