Options B and D are true about Earth’s axis.
An axis is an invisible line around which a rotating or spinning object revolves. The North and South Poles of an object are the spots where an axis connects with its surface. The red line represents the Earth's axis in this illustration. Axial precession, or the slow "wobble" of the axis, is shown by the white circle.
The axis of rotation of the Earth runs through the north pole, the centre of mass of the Earth, and the south pole in the case of the Earth. Every 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds, the Earth completes a full rotation around this imaginary axis. A line that runs across a planet's north and south poles.
