What two poles attract to each other?
A
north and north
B
south and south
C
east and west
D
north and south
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike poles of magnet attract each other while like poles repel. So, the south and the north pole of two magnets will attract each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -When two magnets are placed with their like poles facing each other, the lines of force are in opposite directions and hence like poles repel each other. When the unlike poles of a bar magnet face each other the magnetic lines of force are in the same direction and hence unlike poles attract each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rule to remember is that opposites attract. Every magnet has both a north and a south pole. When you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -A magnet has two ends called poles; one end is the north pole and the other is the south pole. A north pole will attract a south pole; the magnets pull on each other. But the two north poles will push each other away.
