Answer:

The correct answer is option D. The poles are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

For an object to be attracted to a magnet, the charges must be opposite. But when, otherwise, they repel, it means that the charges (the poles) are the same.

In this case we conclude that the correct answer is option D. The poles are the same.
