B Correct answer
Explanation

A lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned with Earth positioned between the Sun and Moon. During this alignment, Earth's shadow falls on the Moon's surface. A new moon is when the Moon is between Earth and Sun (solar eclipse position), and half moon phases don't create the alignment needed for any eclipse.
