Solution

The correct option is C M2,m
Initially,

M=mL



When magnet is broken, new pair of dipoles with same pole strength m but half the magnetic length are generated so now,


M for each part = mL2=(M2)

So, the magnetic moment becomes half but the pole strength remains same.

Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
