Solution

The correct option is D South, North
A bar magnet is a rectangular object that has a magnetic field. Each end of a bar magnet is called a pole — one is north and the other south. When freely suspended, the magnet will align itself so that the end of its northern pole points towards the Earth's magnetic North Pole.

If a bar magnet is cut into pieces its two edges will have South and North pole as magnetic monopoles do no exist.
