B Correct answer
Explanation

Diwali is celebrated on Amavasya (new moon day) in the Hindu month of Kartika. The absence of moonlight (dark night) makes the illumination from diyas and lamps more significant and visually striking. Crescent, full moon (Poornima), and gibbous phases are incorrect for Diwali.
