Detailed Solution

The angle formed by the magnetic north-south line and the actual north-south line is referred to as magnetic declination.
Magnetic declination, also known as magnetic variation, is the angle formed on a horizontal plane between true north and magnetic north (the direction in which the magnetized compass needle points while facing north, which corresponds to the direction of the Earth's magnetic field lines) (the direction along a meridian towards the geographic North Pole). Depending on where the Earth's surface is, this angle changes.
Thus, 3 is the correct answer.
