Solution

The correct option is A bar magnet
A solenoid is a long coil containing a large number of close turns of insulated copper wire wound on a conducting or non-conducting material. When a steady current flows through such a device, the magnetic fields produced by the solenoid are similar to the magnetic field produced by a bar magnet. Hence, a current carrying solenoid behaves like a bar magnet.
