click the button or type the letter next to your answer.

Explanation:

Coastal tides are primarily driven by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun on Earth's oceans, combined with the centrifugal force from Earth's orbital motion. Temperature changes, atmospheric pressure variations, and Earth-Sun rotation centrifugal force do not directly cause tides.

Answer:

B. gravitational attraction of the moon and sun on the earth
