Solution
The tidal range is highest during the new moon or full moon. This is because during these phases, the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun combine to pull the Earth's water in the same direction, causing higher tides. This phenomenon is known as a spring tide. So, the correct answer is "new moon or full moon".
