Plzzz help When does a spring tide take place? A. At the beginning of spring B. Only during the spring season C. Only after spring is over D. At any time

Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything to do with the season Spring). They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon. :) Does that help?
a little i already have that info in my notes
Awh CX Alright hold on
According to Wikipedia "The Sun also exerts on the Earth a gravitational attraction which results in a (less powerful) secondary tidal effect. When the Earth, Moon and Sun are approximately aligned, these two tidal effects reinforce one another, resulting in higher highs and lower lows. This alignment occurs approximately twice a month (at the full moon and new moon). These recurring extreme tides are termed spring tides."
so would it be d?
That seems to be correct from what I found... cx
