The oppositional gravitational force of the moon pulls the water on the side furthest from itself. Thus, option "D" is correct.
<h3> How the moon and, to some degree, the sun cause tides on the earth?</h3>
The moon and sun exert a gravitational pull on the earth.
The moon pulls strongest on the ocean water on the same side, lesser on the solid earth, and the least on ocean water on the opposite side of the earth.
The pull creates tidal bulges that are the earth’s high tides. Low tides occur at the halfway point between the bulges.
Thus, option "D" is correct.
