Answer:

A The gravity of the moon pulls the ocean, which causes the tides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well all of the other answers are just completely different.

if the moon is invisible tides cannot be seen, but why is it at night it is called high tide. B is very odd because many surfing events happen during the day.

It is A because it contains the most context, because it is the only reliable and realistic option, because when the moon is up, and the sun is down, it causes stronger waves
