The correct option is A

False


Earth also acts like a big magnet. A freely suspended bar magnet always align itself in the north-south direction. This is due to the south pole of the bar magnet is attracted by the Earth's magnetic north pole(Geographical south) and the north pole of the bar magnet is attracted by the Earth's magnetic south pole(Geographical north).
