Correct option is D

Introduction
The main types of tides are classified based on the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, and the frequency of high/low tides.
· Spring Tide and Neap Tide are based on the alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.
· Diurnal Tide is based on the frequency (one high and one low tide per lunar day).
· Quarterly Tide is NOT a recognized classification or type of tide.
Information Booster
· Tides: The periodic rise and fall of sea level caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun.
· Types (Alignment): Spring Tide (highest range, alignment of Earth-Moon-Sun) and Neap Tide (lowest range, Sun and Moon at 90° to each other).
· Types (Frequency): Diurnal (one high and one low per day), Semi-diurnal (two high and two low per day), and Mixed (a combination).
· Quarterly Tide: This term is not used to classify or describe a type of tide.
· Primary Forces: The Moon's gravitational pull is the dominant force.
Additional Points
· Neap Tide: A tide of minimum range that occurs when the Sun and Moon are at 90° to each other.
· Spring Tide: A tide of maximum range that occurs when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in a line.
· Diurnal Tide: A tide characterized by one high tide and one low tide in a tidal day.
