B Correct answer
Explanation

A lunar halo is an optical phenomenon created when moonlight is refracted (bent) by hexagonal ice crystals suspended in Earth's upper atmosphere. The crystals act like prisms, bending the light at a 22-degree angle to create a luminous ring around the Moon. It is not created by the Moon's atmosphere (which is negligible).
