Answer:

D. see which items stick to the magnet

Step-by-step explanation:

To predict which items are magnetic, the students will have to test whether or not each item is attracted to the magnet. Only objects that are magnetic stick to a magnet, so all of the items that stick to the magnet should be magnetic.

Hopefully that's helpful! :)
