The correct answer is (c) Fifteenth day.
· Starting from a full moon day, the moon goes through its waning phase, gradually reducing visibility each night.
· By the fifteenth day, it reaches the "new moon" phase, making it invisible from Earth.
· This cycle, from full moon to new moon, typically takes about 14-15 days, completing one lunar phase.
