Solution

If the Earth is represented as a bar magnet, the magnetic pole of the bar magnet that would be closer to geographic north would be the South Magnetic Pole. This is because the Earth's North Magnetic Pole is actually a magnetic south pole (it attracts the north poles of other magnets), and vice versa. This is due to the way the Earth's magnetic field lines emerge from the South Magnetic Pole and enter the North Magnetic Pole, which is the same behavior observed in a bar magnet.
