Explanation:

The visibility of the Big Dipper depends on latitude. As one moves to lower latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, less of the Big Dipper is visible. Longitude does not affect its visibility in the way described in the options. At the North - pole, the Big Dipper is circumpolar and always visible.

Answer:

At latitudes below 40° N, less and less of the Big Dipper is ever visible.
