Answer
A is false but R is true.
Explanation — A neap tide is not a high tide. It is a moderate or low tidal range. At half moon, that is, when the Sun and Moon are 'pulling' at right angles, the force exerted by them is at its least and the difference between high and low tide is not large. These tides are called Neap Tides.
