When standing in my home in California, if the red portion of my compass needle points south (toward Mexico) that means: O a. The compass is working correctly. The polarity has not flipped. O b. The compass has flipped polarity. The red portion should be pointing north (toward Canada). Oc. All compasses are different so there is not enough information given.
