Jamie Mccullough · Answer 1

Take us talk about the magnetic field of the Earth ...

We can consider that there is a bar magnet has a north pole and south pole. The strength of the magnetic field is max. at the poles and decreases by moving away from the poles

The compass north pole Indicates to the geographic north pole

and we know that the similar poles diverge and the different poles are attracted

Then the true answer is

A.) The Earth's magnetic south is similar to the north pole of a magnet.
