"Moon is in seen in the sky for roughly 12 hours" phenomena are caused by the moon's orbiting around the rotating earth.

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Two factors contribute to visibility of the moon at daylight. Firstly, its light is bright enough to penetrate the scattered blue light of the sky. Second, the moon to be visible, must be high enough in the sky.

About 12 hours out of every 24, the moon is above the horizon because of the Earth's rotation. Since those 12 hours almost never overlap in every 24 hours with the average 12 hours of daylight, the average of about 6 hours per day is the possible window to observe the moon in daylight.
