How are the magnetic field lines near the south pole of a magnet affected when a second south pole is brought near it? the field lines combine with the lines around the second south pole. the field lines overlap with the lines from the second south pole. the field lines bend toward the second south pole. the field lines bend away from the second south pole.

D The field lines bend away from the second south pole.

Explanation:

Concept: The lines of magnetic force of north and south poles attract each other whereas those of two south poles repel each other.

When the two south poles of two magnets are brought near to each other, they repel each other & the magnetic lines from one south pole  bend away from other south pole.

The diagram is shown below:
