AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) range. The range of the tide refers to the difference in height between the low tide and the high tide at a given location. This is a key concept in understanding tidal patterns and is an important factor in navigation for vessels operating in coastal waters. The other options are incorrect: A) Distance does not accurately describe the difference in tide heights. C) Period refers to the time between high and low tides, not the difference in height. D) Depth is a separate measurement from the tidal range.
