• B. The south pole of one magnet with the south pole of the other
• C. All of the above
• D. The north pole of one magnet with the north pole of the other

Answer 1

The correct option is A The north pole of one magnet with the south pole of the other

Unlike poles attract and like poles repel each other. There are two important properties of magnets:

ii) Like magnetic poles repel each other, and unlike magnetic poles attract each other.
