By convention, the south seeking ends of a compass' magnets are colored _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) blue.
By convention, the south-seeking ends of a compass' magnets are colored blue. This is the standard color coding used for compass needles, where the north-seeking end is typically colored red or black, and the south-seeking end is colored blue. This color coding helps the user easily identify the orientation of the compass needle and determine the direction of north.
The other answer choices are incorrect because red, black, and white are not the conventional colors used for the south-seeking ends of compass magnets.
