Solution

The correct option is C Spring tides are the tides which occur after a new or full moon.
Tides just after a new or full moon, when there is the greatest difference between high and low water are called spring tides. During this, the sun, moon and the earth are in a straight line causing the gravitational pull to be the maximum. High tides are higher than normal and low tides are lower than normal.
