Solution

The correct option is C

Only 1 is true


Magnetic field lines cannot intersect. This is because when magnetic field lines intersect, the compass at the point of intersection can point in two different directions, which is not possible.
Statement 2 is false as it says that the compass can point in two different directions as though it is a possibility.
