Solution

The correct option is A
True

We know, like poles of magnets repel and unlike poles attract. Since the object that is brought near the magnet is both attracted and repelled by the magnet, we can say the object is a magnet itself. If the object was a magnetic material like iron or steel, it would have been only attracted towards the magnet and not repelled.
