Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The spring tide occurs when the moon, the sun and the earth make in angle of $180^0$.

They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon. During the moon's quarter phases the sun and moon work at right angles, causing the bulges to cancel each other.
