Solution

The correct option is B geographic north pole
Earth has two geographic poles, the North Pole and the South Pole. They are the places on Earth's surface that Earth's imaginary spin axis passes through. Our planet also has two magnetic poles, the North Magnetic Pole and the South Magnetic Pole. Earth's South Magnetic Pole is actually near the geographic North pole and vice-versa.
