Solution

The correct option is A
True

A magnet always has 2 poles, North and South. These two poles can not be separated by any means. Even if you break the magnet in two halves, both of them will have their north and south poles.

The curves with the arrows are magnetic field lines which originate from north pole and end at the south pole.
