A Correct answer
Explanation

The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, meaning its rotational period (27.3 days) exactly matches its orbital period (27.3 days). This synchronous rotation is why we always see the same side of the Moon from Earth. The phenomenon results from gravitational forces slowing the Moon's rotation over billions of years.
