Answer:

set-up X

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that both nails are iron and the charge of the battery is the same, set-up X has a stronger magnetic field.

The more coils [turns] made around a nail, the stronger the electromagnet / magnetic field will be because each coil/loop essentially sets up its own magnetic field.

Hope this helps!!
