C
The Moon is directly between the sun and the Earth thus casting a shadow on the Earth that we percieve as the sun being blocked out by the moon. It is very limited to a very small area on the Earth (compared to the whole that is) and limited to a small point in time.

A solar eclipse means that the sun cannot be seen from the Earth. This is usually because the moon is in the way.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring Earth's view of the Sun.
I would think C.

C. The moon is between the earth and sun and so it gets dark for sometime in the day where it's visible.
