Solution

The correct option is B It will go away from the magnet.
Magnetic materials are always attracted by a magnet. When the ball comes closer to the magnet, it will be attracted towards the magnet. Due to this force of attraction, the ball deviates from its straight line path and move in downwards direction i.e towards the magnet.
