C7 days after full moon or new moon

D14 days after a spring tide

Answer:

Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter moons.
The period between a full or new moon (when spring tides occur) and a quarter moon is approximately 7 days.
At these times, the Sun and the Moon are at a right angle (90°) relative to the Earth, and their gravitational pulls counteract each other.
This results in the smallest tidal range—the difference between high and low tide is minimal.
