2014 IMAT Q 59 Physics--Magnets

We need to know about magnets?! the heck

Hi!
The question mentions that the bar is repelled by the magnet for being able to repel it itself must be magnetised so, we can get rid of those options which mentions unmagnetised substances.
Thus, we are left with C,D and E.
C and E is mentioning about electrostatic charging which is something related to static current thus they do not make sense.
The best one we are left with is a bar of magnetised steel.
Answer is thus D.
Hope it helps:)
