The term "third quarter moon" refers to a specific phase in the lunar cycle when the Moon is positioned at a 90-degree angle from the Earth and Sun. This occurs approximately halfway between the full moon and new moon phases. During the third quarter, half of the Moon's illuminated side is visible from Earth, while the other half remains in shadow.

The correct answer is Third Quarter because the Moon in the third image has its left half illuminated and its right half in shadow. This phase occurs after the Full Moon, when the Moon has completed about three-quarters of its orbit around Earth, which is why it is called the Third Quarter Moon.
