A
north and east
B
north and west
C
south and north
D
south and west
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Magnets have two poles, a north pole and a south pole. The magnetic field is represented by field lines that start at a magnet’s north pole and end at the south pole. When most people think of magnetism, they think about the magnetic force experienced between two magnets.

Detailed explanation-2: -What are the two poles of a magnet? The north pole and south pole are the two poles of a magnet.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike-poles attract: When a north pole and south pole point together, the arrows point in the SAME direction so the field lines can join up and the magnets pull together (attract).

Detailed explanation-4: -Unless they came marked with “N” or “S, ” the poles of a magnet look the same. One easy way to tell which pole is north and which is south is to set your magnet near a compass. The needle on the compass that normally points toward the north pole of the Earth will move toward the magnet’s south pole.

Detailed explanation-5: -Whereas the south pole of the magnet is aligning itself with the magnetic north of Earth. So that is the reason we call them as north pole and south pole is because they align or they show us the direction of the our geographical north and south of Earth.
