Q.

The pole star indicates which direction?
Explanation:

ANS. (A) 
The Pole Star or Polaris is famous for holding nearly still in our sky while the entire northern sky moves around it. As such, it is the only bright star whose position relative to a rotating Earth does not change. That’s because it’s located nearly at the north celestial pole, the point around which the entire northern sky turns. It only indicates approximate North. The current polar star is also known as the North Star.
