Solution
Mercury and Venus are the correct answers. These are the only two planets that can be seen from Earth in a full phase. This is because they are the only planets that orbit the sun closer than Earth does, and thus can have their full disk illuminated by the sun from our perspective. Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, on the other hand, orbit the sun further out than Earth does, so we can never see them in a full phase from our perspective.
