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
