A) The first quarter Moon always rises near noon.

B) High tides

Step-by-step explanation: Spring tides occur at full moon or new moon. During these events, the Earth's gravitational pull is very high as it is subject to the gravitational pull of both the Sun and the Moon. This leads to flooding in the seas or oceans.
