Elul (אלול)
Answer:
The question and answer (above) are both wrong.
The above answer should be Adar. But the question itself is also wrong, since we have only one calendar, not two. Despite the YEARS starting in Tishrei, the MONTHS start only in Nisan. The months are not counted from Tishrei.

Jewish answer:
Although the above answer is probably considered correct for secular schoolwork, it is non-traditional. In Jewish tradition, the year begins only in Tishrei (Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 2a), and the months begin only in Nisan (ibid 7a). This means that there is no twelfth civil month. Elul is the last month of the civil year by default, but is not called the twelfth.

In the Jewish calendar, every month starts with the new moon and a leap month is inserted (by doubling the spring month of Adar) when needed to keep the months in their right season.
