Answer 1

The correct option is C spring tide

As the moon completes one revolution around the Earth, we witness two spring tides—when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun align in one straight line. The two neap tides may be observed when the Sun and Moon are at right angles, with the Earth at the vertex.
