Answer:

b. only within the moon’s umbra.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solar eclipse occurs when Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth in straight line and blocks the sunlight. A shadow of moon castes on the surface of the Earth. The region passing through the moon's umbra would view a total solar eclipse. The moon completely hides the surface of the sun. It would be visible to the people residing in the bright side of the Earth within the Umbra of the moon.
