Explanation

Tides are the regular rise and fall of ocean water caused mainly by the Moon’s gravitational pull, with the Sun’s gravity also contributing. Their effects depend on the positions and interaction of the Moon, the Sun, and Earth, so the correct choice is “the interaction of the moon, the Sun, and Earth.”
