The type of planetary alignment that shows the highest tidal range is B., Sun, Moon and Earth aligned with the Sun and Moon on the same side. Gravitational forces are all positive in the same direction and so will exert a maximum force. As the Earth turns, the side with the sun and moon will have the maximum amount of water drawn to it, while the opposite side will have the lowest. The result is extremely high and low tides.
