Solution

The correct option is B neap tides
Tide is the rhythmic rise and fall of ocean water twice in a day. Their level keeps changing based on the relative positions of Earth, Sun, and Moon. When Moon is in first or last quarter, the ocean water is pulled diagonally in opposite directions and thus we get very low tides called neap tides.
