A

$\frac{1}{4}{\omega ^2}R$

If earth is supposed to be a sphere of radius R, if $g_{30}$ is value of acceleration due to gravity at latitude of $ 30^\circ$ and g at the equator, the value of $g - {g_{{{30}^o}}}$ is

Acceleration due to gravity at latitude $\lambda$ is given by 

$g' = g - R{\omega ^2}{\cos ^2}\lambda $ 

At ${30^o},\,\,{g_{30^\circ }} = g - R{\omega ^2}{\cos ^2}{30^o} = g - \frac{3}{4}R{\omega ^2}$  

$g - {g_{30}} = \frac{3}{4}{\omega ^2}R.$
