Solution
The correct option is B north-south
A freely suspended magnet always points in a north-south direction because the south pole of the magnet is attracted by earth's north pole and the north pole of the magnet is attracted by the earth's south pole.
When we hang it freely it automatically starts pointing in the north-south direction.
