Answer:

A. They never cross

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnetic field lines cannot be crossed, since this would mean that there would be more than one value for the magnetic field at the same point, that is, at the point where the lines intersect. Therefore, the resulting magnetic field vector at a point in space, where the field takes place, is unique.
