Answer:

two north poles and two south poles

Step-by-step explanation:

A single magnet has a north pole and a south pole. If it is broken into two pieces, then each of the two pieces will have a north pole and a south pole.

No matter how many times or into how many pieces a magnet is broken, the resulting pieces will have two poles each.
