    They're definitely not in the same location, and the geographic pole

    can't be located with a compass, so that knocks out the first and last

    choices.

    To decide between the 2nd and 3rd choices, it depends on what you

    call "close" and what you call "far", so these two choices aren't worded

    too well.

    The Earth's north magnetic pole is about 248 miles away from the true

    north (geographic) pole. (And by the way, it moves!)

    Now, 248 miles is not "very far" compared to the size of the Earth.

    But I would not want to walk it or swim it, so I wouldn't call it "close"

    either. The 2nd and 3rd choices are equally wrong, but either one is

    a reasonable compromise.
