Answer: (D)

At

Answer : D

Prepositions are words that indicate relationships with the other words in the sentence. Prepositions of place are used to refer to a place, usually to denote the location of something or someone.

Let's look at the usage of various alternatives in the option as preposition of place:

• at : to refer to an exact place where something is situated / event
• inside : within something / someplace
• in : means "inside"
  
• against : touching or hitting the surface of something in the opposite direction

In the sentence, as a reference to a specific location , i.e. the North Pole. Therefore, the suitable preposition here is "at".

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:

If you are AT the North Pole, every direction is south.
