Solution

The correct options are
B The fields of the magnet and the earth are equal and in opposite direction.
D The net magnetic field is zero.
If the magnet is placed as the north pole, the magnet is aligned with south of earth magnetic field then at a neutral point, that is the point where magnetic forces are equal and opposite thus fields of both are equal and opposite and Net field is zero.
