A plotting compass is placed near the south pole of a bar magnet. The pointer of plotting compass will:
(a) point away from the south pole (b) point parallel to the south pole
(c) point towards the south pole (d) point at right angles to the south pole

(c) point towards the south pole.

Explanation

If a plotting compass is placed near the south pole of a bar magnet, this pole attracts the north pole of the compass needle. Hence, causes the tip of the compass to point towards the south pole.
