B. 24 hours
Explanation: In most places with semidiurnal tides there are two high tides each lunar day. Because the Moon returns to the same meridian about every lunar day (≈24 h 50 min), the interval between two successive "higher" high tides (the unequal higher-high of the pair) is about one lunar day — roughly 24.8 hours (closest choice: 24 hours).
