Solution

The correct option is C The line connecting the two front stars, leads to the Pole star

Look at the two stars at the end of Ursa Major. Imagine a straight line passing through these stars. Extend this imaginary line towards the north direction. About five times the distance between the two stars.This line will lead to a star which is not too bright. This is the Pole Star.
