A compass needle normally points toward earth’s magnetic pole, which is near the north pole. Which best explains why the needle moves away from the pole when it comes close to a current-carrying wire?.

Magnetism surrounding the wire draws the needle toward the wire.

Explanation:

The wire itself has it's own magnetism also, that's why, if you put a compass near it, then the compass will get confused and point the wrong direction.

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
