ans. option (d) is correct

Angle of Dip (magnetic inclination), angle of declination and horizontal component of earth's magnetic field BH, are enough to determine the intensity of earth's magnetic field completely, hence they are magnetic elements of earth, vertical component of earth's magnetic field BV is not a earth's magnetic element.
