If the majority of the craters on the Moon were caused by impacts from asteroids and meteoroids from space, why then are there so few equivalent craters from such impacts on Earth?

(a)   Because geological processes and erosion by water and wind have destroyed most of the craters which have formed on Earth.
(b)   Because the gravitational field of the Moon attracted in-coming objects and this shielded the Earth from these impacts.
(c)   Because the Moon was bombarded by material in a very different region of the solar system before it was captured by the Earth's gravity.
