Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equinox comes from two Latin words: aequi (equal) and nox (night.) Also, equinoxes indicate the transition from one season to another: for example, the vernal equinox indicates the end of the winter and it is also considered the first day of spring. Due to this, equinoxes represent a change in the seasons, making option C the answer. The others are indicated below:

a change in ocean tides

a partial lunar eclipse

a change in the seasons

a change in lunar phases

a period during which Earth’s axis is tilted at the maximum.
