Detailed Solution

Acceleration due to gravity is given by:
g=GMR2

Where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet and R is the radius of the planet.
We can see that,
g1R2

The radius of the earth at the poles is smaller than the radius of the earth at the equator. Due to this the value of g is slightly higher at the poles.
