Answer: C
The average difference in water level between high tide and low tide at a place is the tidal range.
The range is the vertical difference between consecutive high and low water and is largest at spring tides. A tidal bore is a wave moving up a river or estuary on the incoming tide, the tidal period is the time between successive tides, and a tidal wave is a loose name for a very large wave such as a tsunami or a tidal bore, so options A, B and D are wrong. The range depends on the shape of the coast and the phase of the moon: it is large in funnel-shaped inlets such as the Bay of Fundy and small in open oceans.
