Solution

The correct option is B Gravity - downwards
Magnetic - upwards
Consider the hovering magnet. It is being repelled by the magnet kept on the ground. This means that the magnetic force is acting upwards on the hovering magnet. The force of gravity due to its own mass is acting downwards on the hovering magnet.
