A dip circle lies initially in the magnetic meridian, it shows an angle of dip $\delta$ at a place. The dip circle is rotated through an angle $\alpha$ in the horizontal plane and then it shows an angle of dip $\delta^{\prime}$. Hence $\frac{\tan \delta^{\prime}}{\tan \delta}$ is

  • A

    $\cos \alpha$

  • B

    $1 / \sin \alpha$

  • C

    $1 / \tan \alpha$

  • D

    $1 / \cos \alpha$
