A paper clip is an example of a:
A
magnetic material
B
permanent magnet
C
bar magnet
D
insulator
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Paperclips are not naturally magnetic, so, on their own, they will not stick together to form a chain. However, by using a magnet the paperclips can become temporarily magnetized . The steel in a paper clip can be easily magnetized but will lose this magnetism quickly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnets have the ability to attract certain metals like iron and steel. Metal paper clips are made from steel and should be attracted by a magnet.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most common material is steel or some other metal, but molded plastic is also used. Some other kinds of paper clips use a two-piece clamping system. Recent innovations include multi-colored plastic-coated paper clips and spring-fastened binder clips.

Detailed explanation-4: -Magnetic substances are substances that are influenced by a magnet. Iron, cobalt, nickel, and other metals are examples.

Detailed explanation-5: -A paper clip is usually made of steel wire. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Iron is a ferromagnetic material that is attracted by magnets.
