Explanation:

Step1: Understand magnetic field lines

Magnetic field lines show the direction of the magnetic force. A magnetic object moves in the direction of the field line at its position.

Step2: Analyze the direction of the field line at point A

Looking at the diagram, the field line at point A is directed towards the magnet (to the right as it points towards the N - pole in the diagram).
