Solution

The correct option is B Tides
Gravitational force is an attractive non-contact force that exists between any two bodies in the Universe having a definite mass. Just like Earth exerts gravitational pull on the Moon, the Moon does the same on the Earth which causes the water in Earth's oceans to rise up and fall down. This results in oceanic tides and waves.
