Solution

The correct options are
A

Magnetic compass


D

Bar magnet


A magnetic compass and a bar magnet when suspended freely align themselves along the geographical north-south direction, i.e. they are useful in finding the directions. Hence they are used for navigation. Wood and plastic are non-magnetic materials. They do not align along any particular direction. Hence wood and plastic cannot be used for navigation.
