Solution

The correct option is A True
True.
As we know that magnetic lines are closed curves and to determine magnetic field at any point of that curve, the tangent is drawn. It describes the direction of magnetic field at the point.
Two magnetic lines of force can never intersect. If they do so; there would be two tangents, i.e. there are two directions of magnetic field at the point of intersection which is not possible. So, two magnetic lines of force can never intersect.
Hence, option: A.
