Solution

The correct option is A The object is a magnet.
A magnet can attract or repel another magnet depending on the orientation of their poles. Like poles repel and unlike poles attract each other. A magnet does not repel magnetic materials. Instead a magnet always attract magnetic materials. Also the object cannot be a non-metal because non-metals neither attract nor repel a magnet. So, if a magnet repels an object, then that object is surely a magnet.
