Solution
The correct option is C Magnetic force
When a magnet comes near a piece of iron, it attracts iron due to magnetism. Thus, it exerts magnetic force on the piece of iron.
It cannot apply electrostatic force because it does not have charge. Since it is stationary, it cannot apply frictional force either. Muscular force is the force applied by living beings. So, it cannot apply a muscular force.
