Approximately once every 18 months (on average) a total solar eclipse is visible from some place on the Earth's surface. That's two totalities for every three years.
Total solar eclipses are much less frequent because it is much more likely that part of a planet/moon/satellite gets partly in our way of the sun than a planet/moon/satellite gets 100% in our way.
Yes, these are called partial eclipses.

'C' (the missing one) is the correct choice.

There were no total solar eclipses during 2007. There was one total lunar eclipse, one partial lunar eclipse, and two partial solar eclipses.
About two per year, since the Moon formed. So, around 4000 solar eclipses (and 4000 lunar eclipses) since the year 1. You can check the list of all eclipses since the year 2000 BC on the NASA Eclipse Web Page at the link below.
Actually solar eclipses are slightly more common, but a solar eclipse, and especially the total phase, can only be seen in a relatively narrow strip of Earth.
because of our location on earth so depending on where we are on earth you can see a total or partial solar and lunar eclipses
About twice a year.
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses
