Answer: The N and S labels represent only the geographic poles of the earth, sin

Question

      Answer:                      

                            
           The N and S labels represent only the geographic poles of the earth, since magnetic field lines should emerge from the earth at  a north magnetic pole and re-enter the earth at a south magnetic pole.                                   
           The N and S labels represent only the magnetic poles of the earth, since magnetic field lines should emerge from the earth at  a south magnetic pole and re-enter the earth at a north magnetic pole.                                   
           The N and S labels represent both the geographic and magnetic poles since both should be at the same end of the earth.       Study the diagram of the field lines representing the magnetic field of the earth. Select the answer that best explains whether the N and S labels on the diagram of the earth's magnetic field represent the magnetic poles, or whether they represent the geographic poles of the earth, or whether they represent both.
