A.

​Mixed tide​

B.

​Semi diurnal tide​

C.

​Diurnal tide​

D.

​Neap tide​

Correct option is A

Mixed tides are tides that have variations in height: 

  • Explanation: A mixed tide is a tidal cycle with two high tides and two low tides of different heights each day. Mixed tides are caused by both semi-diurnal and diurnal oscillations. 
  • Mixed tides are commonly found along the west coast of North America, in the Caribbean Sea, and along the southeastern coast of Brazil. 

Other types of tides include:

  • Semi-diurnal tide: A tidal pattern with two nearly equal high tides and two nearly equal low tides each day. 
  • Diurnal tide; A tidal pattern with one low tide and one high tide each day. 
  • Spring tide: Tides with the largest range or amplitude, occurring at new moon and full moon. 
  • Neap tide: Tides with the smallest range, occurring at intermediate phases of the moon. 
  • The moon's gravitational force is the main cause of tides, but the sun's gravitational force also plays a role.
