The property that attracts iron and steel.
A
magnetism
B
electricity
C
north pole
D
south pole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The property of a magnet by which it attracts iron pieces or other magnetic materials is called magnetism.

Detailed explanation-2: -The force which a magnet exerts on iron and steel is called the magnetic field.

Detailed explanation-3: -Exactly in the four elements iron, nickel, cobalt and gadolinium, there is interaction between so-called ‘unpaired spins’. This interaction ensures that the magnetic moments of atoms can permanently align parallel to each other. The sum of all these small magnetizations forms the nett magnetization of the material.

Detailed explanation-4: -All austenitic stainless steels are paramagnetic (nonmagnetic) in the fully austenitic condition as occurs in well-annealed alloys. The DC magnetic permeabilities range from 1.003 to 1.005 when measured at magnetizing forces of 200 oersteds (16k A/m).

Detailed explanation-5: -A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, etc. and attracts or repels other magnets.
