Moon Phases Tides and Eclipses

Taylor and José pulled their boat up onto the beach and went on a hike. When they returned, the beach was covered by water and the boat was floating offshore. What is the most likely explanation?

• The spring tide came early.

• The water level rose due to the high tide.

• The low tide receded and pulled the boat out to sea.

• The gravitational pull of the sun and moon decreased the tidal range.
