Answer:

c

Explanation:

just looked it up

The moons he waits for will be the first and third quarter moons. Option C is correct.

What is the moon phase?

The moon changes shape every day. This is because the celestial body has no light of its own and can only reflect sunlight.

Only the side of the moon facing the sun can reflect this light and seem bright. The opposite side appears black. this is a full moon.

We can only see the black section when it lies between the sun and the earth when a new moon occurs. Spring tides occur when the moon is of the first and third quarter moons.

The moon controls both high and low tides. The tidal force is caused by the moon's gravitational attraction.

The tidal force causes the Earth and its water to expand out on both sides of the moon. High tides cause these bulges of water.

Hence the moons he waits for will be the first and third quarter moons. Option C is correct.
