Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "domains".

Step-by-step explanation:

The regions within a magnet at which the magnetization is in a uniform direction are known as magnetic domains. These domains are group of atoms with aligned magnetic poles, this means that the magnetic moments of the atoms are aligned and that their point to the same direction. The magnetic domains are the ones that give the magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials.

A magnetic domain is a group of atoms aligns with magnetic poles. Domains are usually light and dark stripes visible within each grain.
