B.the moon is much closer than the sun
C.although the moon is smaller, it has more mass than the sun
D.the earth blocks the suns gravitational pul

Gravitational force follows an inverse square law i.e. if the separation of the objects doubles the gravitational force becomes a quarter of what it was. The Sun is much further than the moon so its gravitational force does not affect water so much as the moon's.
