B. The side of Magnet A that's repelled by Magnet B's south pole must be Magnet A's north pole.
C. The side of Magnet A that's attracted to Magnet B's south pole must be Magnet A's north pole.

The right answer here would be option C - the side of Magnet A that's attracted to Magnet B's south pole must be Magnet A's north pole. This is due to the magnetic rule of opposites attracting.

Like poles of 2 magnets Repel each other and unlike poles attract each other. so the answer would be C. the side of magnet A that's attracted to Magnet B's South pole must be Magnet A's North pole.
