Charlie says that if you break a magnet in half it will destroy the magnet, but sal says that it will not destroy the magnet. who is right and why?

a: charlie is right because if you break a magnet in half you will get a magnet that is only north pole and a magnet that is only south pole. they will not be able to attract or repel anything.

b: sal is right. breaking a magnet in half will create smaller magnets.

c: charlie is right because breaking a magnet in half makes the magnetic domains become mixed up and the magnet will lose its magnetic force the same as if you drop it.

d: it is impossible to tell who is right because it depends on how big the magnet was before it was broken.
