Brief Explanations

For the first question: When Earth is positioned between the Moon and Sun, the fully illuminated face of the Moon is visible from Earth, which is a full moon. This alignment corresponds to the point where the Moon is opposite the Sun relative to Earth (assumed as Point C here).
For the second question: The lunar cycle is approximately 30 days, moving from one major phase to the opposite phase (like from Point B to Point C, which are opposite positions in the cycle) takes half this time.

Answer:

  1. D. C; full
  2. A. 15 days
