○ waxing gibbous

Explanation:

The moon phases follow a cycle. After the full - moon, the illuminated portion of the moon visible from Earth starts to decrease (wan). The phase between the full moon and the last quarter is when the moon is still mostly illuminated but the illuminated part is shrinking, which is the waning gibbous phase. Waxing phases are when the illuminated part is increasing. Crescent phases have a small illuminated part and quarters have half - illuminated.

Answer:

waning gibbous
