- A6:26 PM Monday
- B6:52 AM Tuesday
- C12:13 PM Monday
- D00:26 AM Tuesday
Explanation
Tides are semidiurnal with a cycle of about 12 hours 25 minutes, so low water (ebb) follows high water by roughly half a cycle, about 6 hours 13 minutes. A high tide at 6:00 AM Monday is therefore followed by ebb at about 12:13 PM on Monday. Hence option (C) is correct.
