Answer:

D) Moons gravitational force

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravity and inertia act in opposition on the Earth's oceans, creating tidal bulges on opposite sites of the planet. On the “near” side of the Earth (the side facing the moon), the gravitational force of the moon pulls the ocean's waters toward it, creating one bulge.

Therefore saying, the moons gravitational force.
