Correct Answer: 1, 2, and 3. Tides are basically alternate rising and falling of sea levels that are caused mainly by gravitational pull of Moon and Sun and secondly by rotation of Earth. In case of gravitational Earth-Moon system, gravity behaves as rope which pulls two bodies together while centrifugal force is applied to keeps two bodies apart. As centrifugal force is more than gravitational pull of the Moon, so the ocean water on other side of Earth protuberance outward. Hence, we see option D is correct.
