Which month of a calendar year can lack a new moon? (CSS 2013 General Science & Ability Paper)

May
February
December
None of these

Usually once a month, although if a new moon happens on the first or second day of the month, a second new moon is likely to occur at the end of the month. Only in the month of February is it possible not to have a new moon. This can happen because even in years where there is a leap day, February can have no more than 29 days. But because a synodic month lasts about 29.5 days, we can have a new moon on January 30 or 31, but the very next new moon would not occur until March 1; completely bypassing February. Such an odd circumstance will happen in the year 2033.
