Answer:

D) Waxing crescent

Step-by-step explanation:

Even if you don't know which way a moon waxes/wanes, you can still answer this.

A full moon is a full, white circle.

A quarter moon is half and half.

A gibbous moon is 3/4 full, like an squished circle.

A crescent moon look like, obviously, a crescent, and is 1/4 full.

In this image, the moon looks 1/4 full, so it is a waxing crescent moon.
