The statement that best describes the moon's orbit around the Earth is c. elliptical with a period of about one month. Although its orbit is elliptical, the moon's orbit can be described as nearly circular because it has an eccentricity of 0.05. Moreover, it takes around 27.322 days for it to orbit around the Earth once.
