the way magnets interact depends on their arrangement. in some cases, magnets repel each other. in other cases, they do the opposite, behaving like the magnets in the animation.
which word best describes this behavior?
a eruption
b attraction
c distraction
d indentation

Explanation:

The question describes the opposite of magnets repelling each other. The term for magnets pulling toward one another (the opposite of repulsion) is attraction. The other options do not relate to magnetic interactions: eruption refers to a sudden outburst, distraction is a diversion of attention, and indentation is a depression in a surface.

Answer:

B. Attraction
