The highest tides, known as spring tides, occur during the time of the new moon and the full moon. During these phases, the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned in a straight line, causing their combined gravitational forces to produce higher high tides and lower low tides. This alignment amplifies the tidal effect, resulting in the strongest tidal ranges.

Other options (for context)

• Solar eclipse: Can coincide with a new moon but is not directly responsible for higher tides.
• Lunar eclipse: Occurs during a full moon but does not always produce exceptionally high tides.
• Volcanoes: Have no relation to tidal movements; tides are caused by gravitational forces, not geological activity.

Explanation: Internet is the odd one out because it is a global network, whereas Linux, Unix and Windows are operating systems.

Explanation: A parity bit is added to binary data in a computer system for error detection. It helps identify whether data has been altered during transmission or storage. The parity bit makes the total number of 1s either even (even parity) or odd (odd parity), allowing simple error checking.

The Green Revolution is associated with Agriculture. It refers to the period during the 1960s–70s when new technologies like high-yield variety (HYV) seeds, fertilizers, irrigation, and pesticides were introduced to boost food grain production, especially wheat and rice. It helped India achieve self-sufficiency in food production.

• Sericulture: Rearing of silkworms for silk.
• Fishery: Cultivation and harvesting of fish.
• Cultivation of bees: Known as apiculture, for honey production.
