The geographic poles both wander statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth has geographic North and south poles as well as magnetic south and North poles. Magnetic North is geographic south and magnetic South is geographic North. The Geographic poles of the earth doesn’t remain stationary

Occurrence of perturbations in the earth’s movement doesn’t allow the geographic poles of earth to remain stationary. Over a period of few years the earth’s geographic poles move by few meters.

Cartographic drawings require stable geographic poles and thus use the averaged location of geographic poles.
