Why does one side of the moon always face away from the earth?

A.
The moon's rotational period is the same as its period of revolution around the sun.

B.
The sun's rotational period is the same as its period of revolution around the earth.

C.
The moon's rotational period is the exact opposite as its period of revolution around the earth.

D.
The moon's rotational period is the same as its period of revolution around the earth.

I would have to say D.

This is because A is false as it rotates around Earth.

B is false because the Earth revolves around the sun and the sun has it's own rotational period (?)

C is false because the moon's rotational is exactly the same as Earth's as we count it's rotational period as ours, helping to make it a day.

Therefore, D would be correct as the moon's rotational period is identical to Earth's revolution.

Hope this helps!
