In the diagram below, the observer is experiencing a spring low tide. what is the most likely position of the sun? (note: shading has been removed from the diagram so it cannot be used to determine the sun's position.)

In line with the moon

Explanation:

The sun is in opposite side of the earth in line with the moon. The gravitational pull of the two celestial bodies, on the waters of the earth oceans, adds up to create the high tides seen with the bulge. The side of the observer witnesses low tides because much of the water is pulled towards the high tides by the gravitational pull of sun and moon.
