Answer:

D. D

Read Explanation:

  • When two iron nails hang from the pole of a magnet, they attract each other with opposite poles facing each other. The nails act like temporary magnets due to induced magnetism. The north pole of one nail faces the south pole of the other, allowing them to stick together when hanging.

  • In figure (D), the nails are correctly positioned with opposite poles facing each other, which is why it is the correct representation.
