    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    f and j respectively represent New Moon and Full Moon. When the side of the Moon facing the Earth does not receive any sunlight and we cannot see the Moon, then it is called a New Moon. When the entire side of the Moon facing the Earth is illuminated, we call it Full Moon. Highest tides are seen during Full Moon and New Moon.
