• A. ${180}^o$
• B. ${90}^o$
• C. ${45}^o$
• D. ${33}^o$

Answer 1

The correct option is A ${180}^o$

The spring tide occurs throughout the year and not just in the spring season. The spring tide occurs when the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth are in alignment making 180. The spring tides occur during the new moon and full moon phase when the Sun and the Moon are at the right angle position causing the bumps to cancel each other.

Therefore the correct answer is option A.
