a magnet aligns with earths south pole.
a magnet aligns with earths north pole.

Explanation:

Magnets attract ferromagnetic materials like iron. Magnets can attract or repel other magnets depending on pole - orientation. A freely - suspended magnet aligns with Earth's magnetic poles (north - seeking pole of the magnet aligns with Earth's north magnetic pole which is actually a south - magnetic pole in terms of magnetic field). Magnets do not attract aluminum as it is not ferromagnetic.

Answer:

A. A magnet attracts objects containing iron.
C. A magnet repels other magnets.
D. A magnet attracts other magnets.
G. A magnet aligns with Earth's north pole.
