Explanation:
The geographic north and south poles refers to the two geographical location/points, where the earth's axis spins. And the magnetic north and south poles refers to the direction towards which a compass needle points.
The geographic north pole and the magnetic south pole of earth is the same, and two bar magnets where one having the north pole and the other having the south pole can attract each other. Similar poles of two bar magnets cannot attract one another, whereas they repel.
Thus, the correct answers are options (3), (4) and (5).

Mauryan empire, in ancient India, a state centred at Pataliputra (later Patna) near the junction of the Son and Ganges (Ganga) rivers. It lasted from about 321 to 185 BCE and was the first empire to encompass most of the Indian subcontinent.
Gupta Empire of Chandragupta II
After gaining power, Chandragupta II expanded the Gupta Empire through conquest and political marriages until the end of his reign in 413 CE. By 395 CE, his control over India extended coast-to-coast. Just like Ashoka, Chandragupta II made Pataliputra the capital of his empire and centralized the government there. He used tribute money from allies to fund government projects and salaries. Unlike Ashoka, Chandragupta did not rely on a network of spies or closely monitor the affairs of foreigners or allies. Instead, he let regions make their own decisions about administration and local governance.
Some scholars have argued that the Gupta empire was a golden age of India. The empire was marked by peace and public safety, and scholars flourished in this environment. Kalidasa, a poet of the time, is considered the greatest poet and dramatist of the Sanskrit language. Aryabhata, who lived during Gupta empire, was the first of the Indian mathematician-astronomers who worked on the approximation for Pi. Vishnu Sharma is thought to be the author of the Panchatantra fables, one of the most widely-translated non-religious books in history.
The Gupta empire ended with the invasion of the White Huns, a nomadic tribe of people from central Asia, at the end of the fifth century CE. Until the sixteenth century, there was no unifying empire; regional political kingdoms ruled India.

Divergent margins also known as rift zones, shield volcanoes tend to form as two oceanic plates pull slowly apart and magma effuses upward through the gap.
The sites based on history that has volcanism related to a hot spot or divergent margin are Hawaii and the mid-ocean ridge. Hawaiian volcanoes within the Pacific Plate are caused by anomalous volcanism.
