Hey! Hope that this helps. I'm fairly certain the answer is B, because I know that it's not visible from all over the earth, so that eliminates A, but doing some research I found out that an observer in the umbra experiences a total eclipse.

Answer:

b. only within the moon’s umbra.    

Explanation:

A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the sunlight falling on the Earth. It occurs at the bright side of the Earth when Earth passes through the umbra of the moon.

When sun, moon and Earth align in a straight line, the disk of the moon is able to block the disk of the sun causing the sunlight to get blocked. Shadow of moon falls on the Earth. A total eclipse occurs when the sun is complete blocked and there is total darkness. It is visible from those areas which pass through the moon's umbra.
