The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Earth's Shape**: The Earth is not a perfect sphere; it is an oblate spheroid. This means it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. 2. **Identifying the Poles**: The poles refer to the northern and southern extremes of the Earth, specifically the North Pole and the South Pole. 3. **Analyzing the Topography**: In the context of the poles, we need to consider how the Earth's surface is shaped in these regions. The gravitational pull and the rotation of the Earth contribute to the shape of the poles. 4. **Conclusion About the Poles**: Given that the Earth is slightly flattened at the poles due to its oblate spheroid shape, we conclude that the region of the poles is indeed depressed. 5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that in the region of the poles, the Earth is **depressed** (Option B). ---
