Answer 1

The correct option is B

Cow magnet is a magnet which collects all the magnetic materials

Cow magnets are popular with dairy farmers and veterinarians to help prevent Hardware Disease in cattle. While grazing, cows eat everything from grass and dirt to nails, staples and bits of bailing wire (referred to as tramp iron). Therefore, cow magnet is used to collect all the magnetic materials inside cow because it can attract those magnetic materials. This cow magnet attracts all the tiny pieces of magnetic substances and prevents them to go get blocked at some other internal part of the cow's body.
