Question

which event occurs during high tide?
all of earth’s ocean levels rise.
the moon’s orbit is closer to earth.
the gravity of the sun and moon cause the earth’s crust and water to bulge.
earth’s crust and water are being pulled in opposite directions by the sun and moon.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

High - tides are caused by the gravitational forces of the Sun and moon. Their combined gravity causes the Earth's crust and water to bulge. It's not that all ocean levels rise simultaneously, nor is it directly related to the moon's orbital distance being closer (though that can affect tide magnitude). And it's not about the crust and water being pulled in opposite directions.

Answer:

The gravity of the Sun and moon cause the Earth's crust and water to bulge.
