Why are tides on Earth higher than normal during spring tides?

-The Moon cancels out the gravitational pull of the Sun on Earth.

-The Sun comes closer to Earth and increases its pull.

-The Moon comes closer to Earth and increases its pull.

-The Sun combines its gravitational force with that of the Moon on Earth.

Yes, the answer is the sun combines the gravitational force with that of the Moon on earth
This is because when the moon is a full moon, the solar or sun is, and has an attractive effect to the lunar or moon
