Answer:

Position D

Explanation:

One fourth of the Moon will be visible from Earth when the Moon is in position D. The reason why this is the right position is that the Moon will be in a position where the majority of its surface that is lighted by the Sun is facing the Sun. On the other hand, the angle is just right that about one quarter of the lighted part of the Moon is also facing the Earth. This will result in a perception from the Earth's view point that the Moon is lighted at one quarter of its surface.
