Answer:

Yes, it is an evidence that the needle is magnetized.

Step-by-step explanation:

Magnetism describes the ability of an object to be attracted or repelled by a magnet.

Since the needle was attracted when brought to one pole of the magnet, we can conclude that the pin has properties that make it to be magnetized.

Therefore, the above is an evidence that the needle is magnetized.
