Solution

The correct option is C

At the ends of the magnet.


Most pins will stick on the ends of the magnet. The effect of magnetism in a magnet is strongest at its both ends. Therefore it is said that the strength of a bar magnet is maximum at its poles. The field lines near the center are parallel to the length of the bar.
