Nathan Wall · Answer 1

The correct option is B. A high tide will occur only in bodies of water close to the moon.

Explanation:

Tides are a phenomenon which occurs due to the gravitational pull of the moon. The earth and the water get pulled in the direction of the moon. As a result, water in the oceans tend to bulge in the direction of the moon. This bulging effect of water in response to the gravitational pull of the moon causes high tides. The bulging effect, that causes the tides, occurs near the cast lines.
