To Choose:The correct option.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Magnetic field lines are a portrayal of the magnetic field.
The strength of a magnet is greatest towards its ends. When a magnetic field is represented using a magnetic field line, the lines are closest at the ends. Closer lines indicate stronger magnetic fields. Since magnetic field strength is greatest at the ends, magnetic field lines are closest at the ends of a magnet.
Conclusion:
The magnetic field is strongest at point A. Thus, option A is correct.
