Solution

The correct option is B
Non-contact force

Since a magnet or a magnetic field can attract or repel another body (magnet or magnetic material) without being in contact with them, so we can say the magnetic force is a type of non-contact force.The force of attraction or repulsion between two bodies when they are not in actual contact with each other are called non contact forces
