Solution

The correct option is B Repulsion
The attraction phenomenon of a magnet can be observed between two unlike poles of magnet and also between a magnet and a magnetic material.
Repulsion however, can only be observed when two like poles of a magnet are brought close to each other. Therefore, repulsion is a sure test for magnetism.
