The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "move closer to Earth." Tidal bulge produced on Earth by the moon is causing the moon to slowly move closer to Earth. Two tidal bulges are created on opposite sides of the Earth due to the moon's gravitational force and inertias counterbalance.
