The answer is the first one: $40^{\circ} \mathrm{N}$.

Explanation for each option:

  1. $40^{\circ} \mathrm{N}$: This is the correct latitude for the Caspian Sea. The Caspian Sea is located in the northern hemisphere, and its latitude is approximately 40 degrees north.

  2. $50^{\circ} \mathrm{E}$: This is a longitude, not a latitude. The Caspian Sea is indeed located around 50 degrees east longitude, but this does not answer the question about latitude.

  3. $50^{\circ} \mathrm{W}$: This is incorrect because it is a longitude, and it is in the western hemisphere, which is not where the Caspian Sea is located.

  4. $40^{\circ} \mathrm{S}$: This is incorrect because it indicates a location in the southern hemisphere, whereas the Caspian Sea is in the northern hemisphere.

In summary, the latitude of the Caspian Sea is approximately $40^{\circ} \mathrm{N}$.
