AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) have lows lower than normal and highs higher than normal.
Spring tides, also known as large tides or king tides, occur when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon align, resulting in larger-than-average differences between high and low tides. This increased tidal range means the low tides are lower than normal and the high tides are higher than normal.
The other options are incorrect - B) is the opposite of what spring tides are, C) refers to the season rather than the tidal phenomenon, and D) "unpredictable" does not accurately describe the predictable nature of spring tides.
