Sagot :

Answer: B. The south magnetic pole attracts the north pole of another magnet.

Explanation:

The correct statement below about the interaction between magnets, magnetic materials and charges is that the south magnetic pole attracts the north pole of another magnet.

We should note that a magnet typically consists of two poles which are the North Pole and the South pole. The opposite poles doesn't repel each other but attracts each other while same pole repels one another.

In this case, the North Pole will attract the South Pole while same magnetic piles repel e.g the North Pole will repel the North Pole.
