The point in which the moon is farthest from the earth is called the apogee.
The moon gets farther and closer to the earth because the moon’s orbit is an ellipse.

Hey there

The point in the moon's orbit when it is farthest away from the Earth is called a
apogee (if I am not mistaken)

So, your answer is:
Option B. Apogee

Because:


Perigee (OptionA.) is where the point of the very pleasant body


Penumbra(l) (Option C.) is the regions of the 2 shadow of the moon, it is "cast" by the moon and the Earth


Eclipse(OptionD.) is concealment

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
