Solution
The correct option is A Magnetic field
The space surrounding a magnet within which the magnetic effect is felt is called Magnetic field.
A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence of electrical currents and magnetic materials. In everyday life, the effects of magnetic fields are most readily encountered with nearby permanent magnets, which pull on magnetic materials (such as iron) and attract or repel other magnets.
