Explanation:

The altitude of the north - celestial pole above the northern horizon is equal to the observer's latitude. At a latitude of 30°N, the north - celestial pole will be 30° above the northern horizon. In the given meridian diagram, the point that is above the northern horizon (labeled N) and at an appropriate altitude is point F.

Answer:

F
