Answer:

South pole

Step-by-step explanation:

In a bar magnet, field lines go from the North Pole to the South Pole (outside the magnet).

As the earth magnetic field lines go from South Pole (geographic) to the North one, this means that the North pole (geographic) really behaves as a South Pole (magnetic).
