Which picture accurately depicts the positions of the earth, moon, and sun during a neap tide?

The correct answer is Image D.

Explanation:

Neap tides are the tides which occur only when the Sun and the Moon are at right angles with the Earth which means they must be aligned perpendicularly to the Earth.

The total gravitational pull of these tides gets weakened because it acts from two different directions. These tides occur twice a month. These tides are known as weak tides.

From the given images, Image D has the Sun and the Moon aligned perpendicularly to the Earth and hence perfectly depicts the occurrence of Neap tides.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
