The lines of the magnetic field B generally emerge in the southern hemisphere and reenter the Earth in the northern hemisphere. Thus, the magnetic pole that is in the Earth's northern hemisphere and known as a "north magnetic pole" is really the south pole of the Earth's magnetic dipole.
The statement in the paragraph means that

A

The north pole of a compass is attracted to Earth's geographic north pole

B

The north pole of a compass is attracted to the Earth's geographic south pole

C

The north pole of a compass is repelled to the Earth's geographic north pole

D

The north pole of a compass is repelled to the Earth's geographic south pole
