D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, to begin answering your question, Earth has a greater gravitational pull than the moon simply because the Earth is more massive. The moon’s gravitational pull also affects Earth, though; the rising and falling of the tides are an effect of the moon’s gravity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Moon has a surface gravity 17% of the Earth’s, but its gravitational force is strong enough to keep the Earth from changing its orbital tilt drastically.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Sun has a much bigger mass. It has the strongest gravitational pull of all the objects in our Solar System. It pulls all eight planets towards its centre and keeps them in their orbits.

Detailed explanation-4: -Our sun is 27 million times larger than our moon. Based on its mass, the sun’s gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth.
