I think the correct answer would be the third option. A spring tide occurs about 26 times per year, at every full and new moon. These tides happen during the new moon and the full moon of a year. It is a result of the position of the Moon, the Sun and the Earth and the gravitational effects of these systems. It is during the time when the moon's quarter would phase the sun and the moon work at right angles which will cause bulges cancelling the effect of each other. The tides of this type will have the greatest difference between the low and high tides of the water.

Answer: Option (1)

Explanation: A spring tide occurs when the sun, earth and the moon are collinear. It is the condition in which the gravitational pull is exerted on earth by both the sun as well as the moon, from opposite sides. Due to this, there occurs a high tide, in comparison to the regular tide, because of the combination of both the gravitational force. It occurs two time a year on each of the lunar month.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
