Detailed Solution

Concept: The magnetic impact on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials is described by a magnetic field, which is a vector field. A force perpendicular to the charge's own velocity and the magnetic field acts on it while the charge is travelling through a magnetic field.
Outside of a permanent magnet, magnetic field lines run from the north magnetic pole to the south magnetic pole. As a result, the earth's magnetic field lines run from the southern to the northern geographic hemispheres. The geographic North Pole is not indicated by a magnetic compass.
Furthermore, the magnetic pole closest to the Earth's geographic North Pole is actually the south magnetic pole. Opposites attract when it comes to magnets. It means that the north end of a compass magnet is drawn to the south magnetic pole, which is close to the geographic North Pole.
Hence, option 3 is correct.
