Question

which statement describes a property of magnets?
magnets repel objects that are made of iron.
magnets attract sheets of paper.
magnets attract or repel iron nails.
magnets attract or repel other magnets.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Magnets attract iron objects (don't repel), so first option is wrong.
• Magnets don't attract paper (paper is non - magnetic), so second option is wrong.
• Iron nails are magnetic materials, but a single iron nail (not another magnet) is only attracted by a magnet, not repelled.
• Magnets have north and south poles. Like poles repel and unlike poles attract, so magnets attract or repel other magnets.

Answer:

D. Magnets attract or repel other magnets. (assuming the last option is D, if the options are labeled as A, B, C, D with the last one being D. If the labels are different, adjust accordingly. For example, if the last option is labeled as "Magnets attract or repel other magnets" with option label like D, then the answer is D. Magnets attract or repel other magnets.)
