Answer: B. Moon and Sun

The answer is B. Moon and Sun.
While the Moon has the strongest influence on tides because it is so close to Earth, the Sun's massive gravity also pulls on the oceans. When the gravitational forces of both the Moon and the Sun align, we get especially high tides (known as spring tides).
