Capitalization rules state that proper nouns (specific names of people, places, and things) should be capitalized, such as "south" in this case. Additionally, the first word of a sentence should be capitalized, such as "The" in this case. Finally, titles of books should be capitalized, such as "Huckleberry Finn" and "Tom Sawyer" in this case. The only option that follows all of these rules is option B.
