Solution

The correct option is A True
When a magnet is suspended freely, it is only influenced by the Earth's magnetic field. However, when a strong magnet is brought near it, this magnet is influenced by the magnetic field of the strong magnet.

So we can say, magnets align themselves according to the strongest magnet around them.
