Solution

The correct option is A geographic north pole
'Magnetic North' is a LOCATION, so-named to distinguish it from True North -it has NOTHING to do with its magnetic POLARITY. The magnetic polarity at this location is south -which is why it attracts the north-seeking pole of a compass needle or magnet.
