Solution

The correct option is A True

The Pole Star is directly above Earth's North Pole. From our perspective on Earth, every star in the sky pivots around the Pole Star, causing them to rise and set. Because of its position over the North Pole, it's the only star that doesn't appear to move.

Pole star is famous for holding nearly still in our sky while the entire northern sky moves around it. That's because it is located nearly at the north celestial pole, the point around which the entire northern sky turns.
