✅ Correct Answer: (B)
2 and 3 only
Explanation: The angle at which the magnetic field lines intersect the surface of the earth. This angle ranges from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the poles. Intensity: The magnetic field also varies in strength over the earth’s surface. It is strongest at the poles and weakest at the equator.
