B and D is the answer

Answer: Option D) B and D.

Explanation:

  • Neap tides are the weak tides which occur when the gravitational forces of the sun and moon are perpendicular to each other and thus, cancels each other out.
  • The tidal range of neap tides is moderate.
  • Neap tides occur twice a month during the first and third quarters of the moon.
  • In the given diagram,
  1. Position A corresponds to the new moon.
  2. Position B corresponds to first quarter.
  3. Position c corresponds to New moon.
  4. Position D corresponds to the third quarter.

Thus, it is the position B and D of the moon where the neap tides occur.
