Explanation:

A freely suspended magnet aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field. The Earth's magnetic field has a north - south orientation, so the magnet will point in the north - south direction. Options A (diagonal), B (up - down), and D (east - west) do not match the behavior of a suspended magnet in the Earth's magnetic field.

Answer:

C. north - south
