A dip circle is adjusted so that its needle moves freely in the magnetic meridian. In this position, the angle of dip is $40°$. Now the dip circle is rotated so that the plane in which the needle moves makes an angle of $30°$ with the magnetic meridian. In this position the needle will dip by an angle

  • A

    $40°$

  • B

    $30°$

  • C

    More than $40°$

  • D

    Less than $40°$
