I've done some background research but can't find a definite answer to this question. At first i suspected the answer to be A but everyone seems to have their own thoughts about it:
The reason the north pole of a bar magnet (which is free to rotate) points north is because:
a. the south geographic pole of the Earth is the Earth's magnetic north pole
b. the south geographic pole of the Earth is the Earth's magnetic south pole
c. there is a net accumulation of negative charge at the Earth's south geographic pole
d. there is a net accumulation of positive magnetic charge at the Earth's north geographic pole
e. the north geographic pole of the Earth is the Earth's magnetic north pole
i'm pretty sure c and d can be eliminated but that still doesn't make the question much easier to answer
