What is an eclipse?

When a planetary body passes in front of another planetary body and is visible from a third planetary body, an eclipse is created. Based on the relative positions of the sun, moon, and earth at the time of the eclipse, there are various types of eclipses in our solar system. For instance, a lunar eclipse occurs when the earth passes between the moon and the sun. The moon is pulled into the earth's shadow during a lunar eclipse, obstructing the sun's rays from reaching the moon. The sun, earth, and moon are also very tightly aligned during this time. Only with a full moon can there be a lunar eclipse.

For the solar eclipse to happen the light from the sun is obstructed by the moon observing from the earth.

Hence, Jake's experiment has a flaw stand facing the light bulb is the best statement that describes a method to correct the flaw in Jake's experiment. therefore the correct option is A.
