B) Tides are driven by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon.
Explanation: tides are caused primarily by the gravitational interaction (and the resulting tidal forces) of the Moon and Sun with Earth. Waves are mainly generated by wind, storms or seismic events, and surface tension applies to very small (capillary) waves. Centrifugal effects from the Earth–Moon rotation contribute to the tidal pattern but are not the primary cause.
