    • Straight

    • Triangular

    • Square

    • Circular

    Correct Answer
    A. Circular
    Explanation
    The moon orbits the earth in a circular motion because it follows a curved path around the earth. This circular motion is due to the gravitational pull between the moon and the earth, which keeps the moon in a stable orbit. The circular orbit allows the moon to maintain a relatively constant distance from the earth as it moves around.
