Answer: The correct answer is Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lunar eclipse is defined as the condition which arises when moon passes behind Earth to its shadow.

Partial lunar eclipse arises when a portion of moon passes through Earth to its shadow and total lunar eclipse arises when moon passes directly behind Earth's shadow.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
