Answer: A
The unusually high and low tides near new moon and full moon are called spring tides. At those times the sun, moon and earth lie roughly in one line, and the gravitational pulls of sun and moon add together to give the highest high tides and the lowest low tides.
Neap tides occur near the first and last quarter, when the sun and moon pull at right angles and the tidal range is smallest. Super tide and fall tide are not standard terms in tidal theory and describe no accepted type.
