Explanation:

The word "shadowed" in the context means that the sun's light is prevented from reaching the craters. "Blocked" has a similar meaning as it implies something is preventing (in this case, sunlight) from getting through. "Blinded" relates to vision, "polluted" is about contamination, and "divided" is about separation, none of which fit the context as well as "blocked".

Answer:

D. Blocked
