Answer:

The tides are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity.The sun is massive, but the moon is closer! (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sun is larger than the moon and has stronger gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravity is stronger than the sun's.
