Amagnet placed against the wall of a metal shed falls to the ground, where it attracts a nail. what is the most likely explanation for this observation?
a. the wall is the opposite pole from the magnet.
b. the shed is not made of iron or steel.
c. the magnet is not magnetized.
d. the nail pulled the magnet to the ground.

The correct answer is option B. The shed is not made of iron or steel.

All the metals present in the environment cannot be attracted to the magnet. The magnet generally attract the iron or the steel. In case, the metal is not iron or steel, the magnet would not attach to it. So, there is a possibility, the shed is not made made up of steel, as the magnet does not get attached to it. That is why, the magnet falls on the ground.

In case, the magnet is not magnetised, it should not pull the nail also, and the size of the nail is not enough to pull the magnet down off the shed.
