Answer:
Option (A) 52 minutes later.
Explanation:
Unlike the Sun, which appears to rise in the morning and set in the evening, the Moon doesn't follow the same pattern every time.
Moon orbits on its axis and rotates in East direction around the Earth by 12 to 15 degrees and takes approximately one month to complete it.
This means that Earth needs to take a little more time to rotate and make the moon visible.
So, the Moon rises in the Earth on average of 52 minutes later on each consecutive nights.
But, the Moon sets in a different way, different time each day and doesn't follow above pattern.
