  1. continuous
  2. nothing can be said
  3. discontinuous
  4. some times continuous and some times discontinuous

A
discontinuous
B
some times continuous and some times discontinuous
C
continuous
D
nothing can be said
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Magnetic lines of force are continuous.
The tangent at each point of the magnetic field lines the direction, of magnetic field. And we know that magnetic field exist in each and every point in the vicinity of the magnet.
