Solution

The correct option is A

True


Earth's spin determines geographic north and south poles. They are the locations on earth through which the axis of the earth's spin passes. Magnetic north is determined by the direction of a compass points. So, the magnetic north and south poles of the earth are different from its geographical north and south poles.
