spring tides occur when
the sun and moon are at right angles to earth
the sun and moon are the same distance from earth
day and night are equal
the sun, moon, and earth line up
Spring tides are caused by the combined gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon on Earth. This happens when the three celestial bodies align (syzygy), either during a new moon (Sun and Moon on the same side) or full moon (Sun and Moon on opposite sides). The other options are incorrect: right angles cause neap tides, equal distance is irrelevant, and equal day-night is equinox.
