Question

question 17
the fact that one hemisphere of the moon continually faces earth is evidence that the moon
reflects rather than emits light
is distorted in shape
does not rotate on its axis
rotates on its axis

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The moon's synchronous rotation causes one hemisphere to always face Earth. This means the moon rotates on its axis in the same amount of time it takes to orbit Earth. It is not evidence that the moon reflects rather than emits light (which is a different property), nor that it is distorted in shape, and it does rotate on its axis.

Answer:

D. rotates on its axis
