Solution

The correct option is A
bisects the magnetic axis perpendicularly.

The equatorial meridian is a plane perpendicular to the surface of the earth and passes through the magnetic axis.
The magnetic axis is the straight line joining two poles of the earth.

Hence, the equatorial meridian of a magnet bisects the magnetic axis perpendicularly.
The correct option is (A).
