Solution

The correct option is B Brazil
Solution: As we know, that at equator magnetic dip is zero, because needle rests horizontally at the equator. Also, as the equator passes through Brazil, the magnetic dip at Brazil is zero. The equator does not pass through Pakistan, Scotland and Canada.
Hence, the correct option is (B).
