What would happen if you held the south pole of one magnet near the north pole of another magnet of the same size? (a) the magnets would not be affected by each other. (b) the magnets would be attracted to each other. (c) the magnets would repel each other.

The correct choice would be

(B) The magnets would be attracted to each other.

we know that like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other. hence when south pole of one magnet is placed near the north pole of other magnet, the two magnets attract each other due to interaction of magnetic fields of the two magnets. the magnetic field lines originating from north pole of one magnet ends at the south of other magnet

it is the second option.
