Question 1514Navigation General

The correct answer is D) sunrise. In low latitudes, the new Moon will always rise at about sunrise. This is because the new Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, so it will rise and set approximately at the same time as the Sun. The other options are incorrect because: A) 2400 LMT is midnight, not the time of new Moon rise; B) 1200 LMT is noon, not the time of new Moon rise; and C) sunset is the opposite of sunrise, when the new Moon would be setting rather than rising.
