Solution

The correct options are
B
False

C
Unlike charges/poles attarct

D
They are non-contact forces

Contact forces are those forces for which contact is necessary for the force to act. In the case of magnetic and electrostatic force, the force can be applied on a body without actually touching it. So both the given forces are non-contact forces. Like charges/poles repel and unlike charges/poles attarct each other.
