Solution

The correct option is D Impact
'Influence' means the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behaviour of someone or something, or the effect itself.
"the influence of television violence"
In this context, "Tides are caused by the gravitational influence of the moon on ocean level", 'influence' means impact or effect. Hence, option E is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
