Answer»

Right answer is (c) Tidal RANGE

To explain I would say: The tidal range is the VERTICAL difference between the high tide and the succeeding low tide. Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the COMBINED EFFECTS of the GRAVITATIONAL forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth.
