A Correct answer
Explanation

The moon is tidally locked to Earth, meaning its rotation period equals its orbital period (approximately 27.3 days). This synchronous rotation causes the same lunar hemisphere to constantly face Earth. The 'far side' of the moon wasn't visible to humans until spacecraft missions in the 1960s.
