Correct Answer: Penumbral


Solution : The correct option is Penumbral .

A penumbral eclipse is not a type of solar eclipse but a lunar eclipse. The three main types of solar eclipses are total, partial, and annular, which occur when the Moon comes between the Earth, and the Sun, blocking all or part of the Sun's light. Penumbral eclipses, on the other hand, involve the Earth passing between the Sun, and the Moon, causing the Earth's penumbral shadow to fall on the Moon's surface.
