Solution

The correct option is D All compass needles lines up with it
Needle of a magnetic compass is a magnetic material that aligns itself to the magnetic field direction around its surrounding. Even if there is no magnet around the compass it always aligns itself in the north-south direction of the Earth, which verifies that Earth has a magnetic field.
