A lunar eclipse happens when Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon, requiring Earth to be between the Sun and Moon. During a new moon, the Moon is positioned between Earth and the Sun, so Earth cannot cast its shadow on the Moon, making a lunar eclipse impossible. Option A directly addresses the new moon's alignment that prevents this eclipse.
