Explanation
Spring tides are the very high tides occurring when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly aligned (A-4). Neap tides are the low tides occurring at quadrature, when the Sun and Moon act at right angles (B-1). Apogean tides occur when the Moon is farthest from Earth, at apogee (C-2). Equinoctial spring tides recur around the equinoxes, i.e., at roughly six-month intervals (D-3). Only option D pairs all four correctly.
